As we well know, hydrating is a fundamental task throughout the year, but especially in the hottest seasons. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly hydrate throughout the day to ensure that the body remains in good condition.
Summer, sun exposure and high temperatures cause the body to lose water, vitamins and minerals necessary to be hydrated. Therefore, we have to drink more water for the body to function properly. Another way to hydrate in summer is by consuming fruit. A large amount of summer fruits contain from 90 to 98% of water, perfect to compensate for this lack of water in the body. In addition, it is a way to ingest vitamins and minerals that will pleasantly benefit the body.
Two of the star fruits of summer are watermelon and melon, since they contain large amounts of water, are very refreshing and are also delicious. They become the perfect ally to combat high temperatures.
These fruits are characterized by the amount of fiber and potassium they contain. In addition, they contain antioxidants that eliminate molecules known as free radicals from the body. They become a very cleansing food that helps against fluid retention.
The low sodium content of melon makes it a suitable food for salt-free diets, while the folic acid it contains makes it a good recommendation to consume during pregnancy.
On the other hand, watermelon contains lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent aging and many other diseases.
There are many ways to include fruit in summer: eat the piece cut into pieces, in juices or smoothies, on skewers, in fruit salads or in salads. Be that as it may, it is advisable to consume it at any time of the day and enjoy the multiple benefits it brings us. While you take advantage of the nutritional properties of fruits, you keep your body hydrated and prepared to combat the heat.
