Health experts have advised people to avoid eating out and prefer home cooked food in the ongoing severe heat conditions to avoid gastric problems. Civil Surgeon Dr Sumit Singh said semi-cooked and unhygienic food can lead to upset stomach. He added that people should prefer simple home cooked meals with salads and lots of fluids.

“During summer season, lassi, lemon water and other traditional drinks are good for stomach, whereas carbonated and caffeine drinks should be avoided. People should also increase the intake of seasonal salads,” he said. He added that dietary habits of children and elderly should also be watched to avoid any problem.

Singh said that a healthy diet is the key to a healthy body and eating fried or heavy foods would certainly cause trouble during the summer months.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
