As summer kicks into high gear, who isn’t ready to spend some time outdoors in warm weather? But as temperatures soar, it is important to make sure you take care of yourself with hydration being the top priority.
Did you know that what you eat plays a big role in making sure you’re hydrated? Here are five foods that you should enjoy this summer because they are an excellent source of hydration and nutrition.
With respect to hydration, H20Max helps increase water’s ability to hydrate and is a great way to make sure you can enjoy some summer fun without worrying about dehydration.
Cucumbers
According to the Cleveland Clinic, cucumbers are made up of 95% water! Not only does this vegetable do a great job of hydrating you, it also helps the body remove waste and is known to reduce skin irritation.
Studies show that making cucumbers a regular part of your diet can promote both anti-aging and anti-wrinkling activity. Who doesn’t want that?
Celery
Like cucumbers, celery is 95% water and, as part of a balanced diet, is a great snack to keep you hydrated during the sweltering heat of summer. Celery boasts a low calorie count so you can indulge without worrying about weight gain. Additionally, it adds mineral salts, amino acids and vitamins to your system, making it two times as effective as a glass of water.
Iceberg Lettuce
Iceberg lettuce also measures in at roughly 95% water, making it the most hydrating member of the lettuce family. While it is great for summer salads, you can also use iceberg lettuce in more creative ways to keep your diet healthy and your body hydrated. For example, use iceberg lettuce in lieu of buns or tortillas when eating burgers or tacos.
Watermelon
Out of the seemingly endless array of fruit, watermelon is one of your best bet for keeping hydrated. It is 91% water, high in fiber and can help you feel full. Watermelon is also full of antioxidants such as lycopene, which can protect your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
Strawberries
If watermelon doesn’t satisfy your sweet tooth, reach for some strawberries. They are also 91% water and are regarded as the most hydrating berry. They are a great addition to smoothies, yogurts and salads. One cup of strawberries can provide you with your daily intake of vitamin C.
Stay Hydrated
There are many delicious foods to keep you hydrated from June to August. Not surprisingly, water is a vital part of staying hydrated. If you are looking for a way to supercharge your water and increase its propensity for hydration then look no further.
