Top Summer Fruits for Kids to Beat the Heat

This is what a kid’s summer vacation mostly looks like: playing in the sun all day long, visiting their relatives (and making new friends in their locality), going on picnics and trips with parents, eating a lot of seasonal fruits and if time permits - their summer vacation homework. That’s probably the last thing your little one does in their holidays. Who can blame them though! While it is important to let your kids run wild and free for their summer holidays, you as a parent should also be aware of the health consequences a seasonal change can bring with them.

The rising temperature and the recent heatwave trends across India have left parents worried about their kid’s well being during this hot season. Because most of the time, kids choose to eat which is not really healthy and hydrating enough for the season. Also, your little one has a different nutrient requirement than you. You may cheat on your daily nutrient intake and your body won’t even know. But your kid’s diet should have all the necessary nutrients. And what's a better, juicier and healthier source of nutrients than fruits!

This blog will reveal all the juicy details about various health benefits you can find in summer fruits for kids and how you can incorporate these summer fruits for kids into your munchkin’s diet. So make sure you read this blog till the end and share this article with your friends and relatives (in just one-click at the top).

Why is having fruits in summer beneficial for kids?

It’s no secret that eating fruits has a lot of goodies and also helps us to prevent various diseases. While this is the season of having fun and enjoying new things, this season also invites diseases such as heat strokes, flu, diarrhoea etc.

Naturally, it’s easy for us to identify and tackle the issue. But for young toddlers who cannot go any much further than water (and sometimes ice cream and cool juices) to cool themselves down, it’s important to feed them with fresh and clean summer fruits (and also vegetables)!

Do you remember that Glucon-D advertisement? Where young kids like yours are playing under the hot sun and the sun with the help of a long straw that is sipping away their energy - thus making those kids very tired and hot? Yeah, they still play that advertisement every summer.

And the advertisement completely captures the issue of dehydration. Kids can easily lose nutrients as compared to us. So we need to include necessary fluids in their regular diet. Fruits and veggies are a very easy way to recharge all the necessary nutrients in your kid's body. Get ready to quench your and your little one’s thirst with these fruits!

And the fruits going to your kid’s plate are:
