Summer is just around the corner and that means plenty of fun in the sun. It can also mean the potential for dehydration. In hotter temperatures, our supply of fluids gets drained much faster than in the cooler months, so it’s especially important to drink lots of water when you’re out and about during the dog days of summer.
One thing to keep in mind is that, while 80% of our hydration comes from drinks, we get a good 20% from our food. So, in addition to taking in plenty of liquids, it’s important to eat hydrating summer foods to ward off the potentially dangerous effects of dehydration.
Here are a few delicious hydrating summer foods to enjoy in the upcoming months.
- Watermelon
- Bananas
- Raw Spinach
- Yogurt
- Strawberries
- Peaches
- Cooked Zucchini
- Cucumbers
- Iceberg lettuce
All of these foods are composed of at least 88% water and contain numerous vitamins and nutrients as well. These foods not only taste great, but they will also help keep you fully hydrated.
