Dr Kumar advised people to take proper sleep, consume right diet, especially fruits, as well as keep themselves hydrated to stay fit physically as well as mentally in the hot weather.City-based clinical psychologist, Dr Binda Singh, said, “The excessive heat causes hormonal imbalances and irritability in people.
