Alaya F’s Summer Secrets: Actress Is Beating Mumbai’s Heat With High Water Intake, Mangoes, and Cucumber Raita

Actress Alaya F, who is gearing up for her upcoming film Srikanth opposite Rajkummar Rao, has shared her summer diet regimen. Given Mumbai's humid summers, which can be exhausting, the actress prioritises hydration, ensuring a minimum intake of three litres of water daily. Alaya also shared that she likes to include a lot of mangoes in her diet, given that they are the fruit of summer. Discussing her seasonal diet, the actress told IANS: "During summers, I prefer consuming cooling and light foods. Although my diet stays pretty consistent throughout the year, it's great to incorporate more fruits and yoghurt and, most importantly, to stay well-hydrated. Since it's mango season, I add mangoes to a lot of my diet.” Summer Drinks Recipe: 5 Easy Cooler Recipes To Keep You Hydrated and Rejuvenated in Hot Weather.

Alaya then spoke about how she started her day regarding food intake. In the morning, the actress likes to have an avocado toast with eggs. “On the side, I’ll have a small bowl of mangoes and also some nice cold watermelon. It’s refreshing and so tasty. Lunch remains the same, just some light vegetables with quinoa, or if it’s an Indian preparation, I’ll have it with some jowar roti. To modify it for the summer, I’ll have some cucumber raita or yoghurt on the side or sometimes even just a glass of buttermilk with my lunch. Dinner usually consists of a soup and a light but filling and wholesome salad," she added. The actress shared that “the most important part of my diet," especially during the summers is water intake.

Alaya said: "Since I often exercise without fans or AC in the summer, I sweat a lot! So, hydration is super important for me. I drink a lot of water during the day, and to keep track of it and maximise it, I like to infuse my water with healthy substances. In the morning, while I’m exercising, I finish about 750 ml of cucumber, mint, and lemon water and add my collagen powder to it." “After that, through the first half of the day, I finish 1.2 litres of water with cinnamon, apple cider vinegar, ginger, lemon, and chia seeds. After that, I have about 1 litre of just regular plain water through the day, and at night I have 750 ml of hot water with saunf, ajwain, jeera, flax seeds, and chia seeds," she added.
