Introduction
It can get scorching in the UAE during the summer, so staying hydrated is very important. Eating the right foods is also crucial for how you feel. Staying cool is critical. Foods that are cool, healthy, and light can make a big difference. Almonds, pistachios, and peanuts are some of the best nuts because they have a great mix of protein, healthy fats, and a great flavour. This blog post will talk about three easy, tasty, and summer-appropriate nut-based meals.
