If you are following these tips, you may wonder what you should do when you are craving food. Or it may happen that you want to snack on a summer day. What should you do then? Anjali Mukerjee answers that in a post where she talks about the benefits of soaked almonds. She recommends that you keep soaked almonds in the refrigerator that can become your instant snack any day. You can have them with salads instead of adding croutons. Almonds will not only fill your stomach but will also replenish your nutrient requirement in the body. Almonds are rich in protein, essential oils, calcium and magnesium. Have them as in-between snacks.

- Fresh Haldi juice
- Tomato, carrot and beetroot juice
- Amla juice
- Aloe Vera juice
We are sure that these health tips will help you tide over the summer.
