Heavy meals take time to digest in summers and can make your stomach upset. So, consider taking light meals like fruit salads, eggs, leafy vegetables, broths, juices, etc.

During summers, go for cotton clothing so that air could pass through easily. Moreover, wear light color clothes as they are a good reflector of heat and keep you cool.
