6 foods that can help fix sunstroke related fever
Summer brings with it a wave of ailments such as fever, dehydration, cold and cough, which can take a toll over health and well being. This is because most heat induced fevers happen due to extreme heat exposure, when the body overheats due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures, which further leads to symptoms like fatigue, weakness, dehydration, and elevated body temperature.

Here are certain foods that can help in healing fever, cold and dehydration by providing essential nutrients that help the body recover faster. Here are six effective foods to soothe heat-induced fever.
Coconut Water
Coconut water is a natural electrolyte drink rich in potassium, magnesium, and sodium. It helps rehydrate the body, cools the system from within, and balances lost fluids due to excessive sweating. Drinking 1–2 glasses of chilled (not icy) coconut water can bring relief from weakness and fatigue associated with heat-induced fever.
Watermelon
Packed with over 90% water, watermelon is a hydrating fruit that helps bring down body temperature. It also contains antioxidants like lycopene which reduce inflammation. Consuming freshly cut watermelon or blending it into a juice without sugar provides instant cooling and relief from heat exhaustion.
Buttermilk (Chaas)
Buttermilk is a traditional Indian remedy for body heat. It's rich in probiotics, which support gut health, and also contains calcium and B vitamins.
Sipping on a glass of chaas with a pinch of salt, roasted cumin, and mint cools the body, soothes the stomach, and can gradually lower mild heat fever.
Cucumber
Cucumber is one of the most cooling vegetables you can eat during a fever caused by heat. It is high in water content and offers a natural dose of vitamin C, silica, and fiber. Eating cucumber slices or adding it to salads and raita helps flush out toxins and restore body temperature.

Mint and Lemon Water
Mint has a natural cooling effect on the body, while lemon replenishes vitamin C and electrolytes. A homemade drink made by mixing fresh mint leaves, lemon juice, water, and a bit of rock salt can act as a powerful cooling agent and detoxifier. This drink soothes inflammation and prevents further heat build-up.
Sabja Seeds (Basil Seeds)
Sabja seeds soaked in water swell up and form a cooling gel-like texture. These seeds are known to reduce body heat, soothe the gut, and offer relief from acidity and restlessness during fever. Mix soaked sabja seeds in lemon water or milk for a soothing, nutrient-rich remedy.

VVS Laxman To Spearhead India's Preparations In Gautam Gambhir's Absence: Report
Last Updated: Gautam Gambhir returned to India earlier this week due to a medical emergency in his family. He is expected to rejoin the squad ahead of the first Test. Former India batter VVS Laxman is expected to oversee India's preparation for the first Test against England until the return of India's head coach, Gautam Gambhir, who is still in India, tending to his ill mother. The first Test of the five-match series between India and England is scheduled to take place at Headingley in Leeds from June 20 to 24.

The junior side will play five youth ODIs starting June 27, with two youth Tests scheduled for Beckenham and Chelmsford in July. In Gambhir's absence, the former India great also guided a second-string India team in a T20 series in South Africa late last year and was also India's head coach for the five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe in July 2024, where, for the first time in his career, Shubman Gill captained Team India. Gambhir returned to India on Friday India head coach Gautam Gambhir on Friday returned to the country after his mother, Seema Gambhir, had to be hospitalised due to a health emergency, a BCCI source told PTI. The source said Gambhir had to fly back to attend to his mother, who suffered a heart attack and is currently in the ICU in a New Delhi hospital. The Shubman Gill-led Indian Test squad is in the UK to play a five-match series against England starting June 20 in Leeds. 'Gautam's mother had a heart attack on Wednesday. He and his family left for India on Thursday, and they have reached Delhi," the BCCI source informed.

He is having assistance from other coaching staff, such as bowling coach Morne Morkel and batting coach Sitanshu Kotak. Gambhir is expected to return to England in a week's time if everything goes well at his home. 'His mother is showing signs of recovery, although she is still in the ICU. In all likelihood, he will be back in the UK before the start of the opening Test (starting June 20) if all goes well." First Published:

Jammu and Kashmir: Parents of students in Iran demand evacuation
Representative image (AP) SRINAGAR: Parents of students studying in Iran staged a protest Sunday in Srinagar, demanding immediate evacuation as missile exchanges between Israel and Iran entered a third consecutive day. J&K CM Omar Abdullah said his government is in close touch with ministry of external affairs and monitoring the situation in Tehran, Shiraz, Qom, and other affected cities. 'A decision to evacuate, if necessary, will be taken based on the ground situation, with student safety as the top priority,' Abdullah said. 'We will keep everyone informed as the situation develops. As a parent, I assure all families of my government's close and continuous attention to this important developing situation.' According to J&K Students Association (JKSA), more than 1,300 Indian students are stuck in the war in Iran. Many had chosen Iranian universities for their affordability, especially for medical education. JKSA convenor Nasir Khuehami said students are facing increasing insecurity. 'They've reported hearing sirens, feeling tremors, and witnessing heightened military activity,' he said. 'Some are in cities that have already been hit.' National Conference MP Aga Ruhullah said Israeli airstrikes struck Hujat Dost Ali hostel in Tehran, where several Kashmiri students are housed. 'Some have suffered minor injuries,' he said, urging Union government to relocate the students within Iran or evacuate them once the airspace reopens. Dozens of parents gathered at Srinagar's Press Enclave, holding photos of their children and playing voice recordings from students stuck in Iran. 'They are calling us and saying they are in a very tough situation. They need immediate evacuation,' said a woman, whose son is in Tehran. Another parent, whose daughter is studying medicine at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran, shared a message: 'We are constantly living in fear as air attacks are happening every now and then. We either need shelter or evacuation.'
