Days tend to stretch for longer periods during summer season and feeling hungry between the meals is common. Make sure to keep proper snacks with you instead of munching on random junks. Treat yourself with summer fruits like melons, apples, watermelons, etc. These fruits not only fill tummy but also hydrate the body due to the high content of water in them.
Sunscreen
