Let’s face it, although during the winter we wished and dreamed that summer would come, now we are struggling to endure the torrid heat of these days. Going to the beach is certainly the best – and most pleasant – solution to freshen up, but it is not the only one. In fact, proper nutrition plays a fundamental role both for our well-being in muggy periods but also for our beauty. Let’s see together which are the best foods to choose in this period.
HYDRATION PASSWORD: THE FOODS TO PREFER WHEN THE THERMOMETER RISES
If it is true that when it is very hot, hunger tends to decrease, it is equally true that the food we choose must help us maintain a good level of hydration and mineral salts. In this sense, valuable help comes from what are called anti-hot foods.
Coconut
It has a refreshing effect on the body. Contains healthy fats, potassium and other necessary electrolytes. In the summer, when you sweat a lot, the body loses electrolytes, coconut water restores these lost electrolytes and prevents dehydration.
Cucumber
Cucumber is a naturally fresh food. Its important quantity of water and mineral salts makes it a particularly suitable vegetable for hot periods, as well as very tasty in salads.
Watermelon
Eating watermelon has a refreshing effect on the body as well as being objectively pleasant: a slice of watermelon in the sultry summer evenings is one of the pleasures of life. It is a good source of antioxidants and contains 90 percent water, plus essential electrolytes. It is also considered a natural diuretic.
Lemon
Helps the skin to eliminate sweat easily, cooling the body faster and perfect for detoxifying the body. So a nice fresh lemonade can’t do that well.
Peaches
85% of peaches are made up of water and represent an excellent source of vitamin C, iron and potassium: fresh, toning and re materializing.
Melon
A bit like watermelon, melons also often appear on our tables this season, being 90% composed of water. Tasty and juicy, melon is rich in potassium, vitamins and minerals and its consumption has beneficial effects on the circulatory system.
