As temperatures rise/ Here's how to increase hydration through fruits and vegetables

As temperatures rise, the importance of maintaining proper hydration becomes paramount, especially during the hot months.

Water is not just a thirst quencher; it is a fundamental element that keeps all bodily systems functioning optimally. From regulating body temperature to reducing the risk of kidney stones, urinary tract infections and constipation, water is the 'unsung hero' of maintaining your well-being.

But in addition to water, in high temperatures the body also needs additional hydration, which can best be obtained through food. 

Options with a high water content of 90-100% include watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, lettuce, cabbage, celery, spinach, and squash.

Foods with moderate water content, 70-89%, include bananas, grapes, oranges, pears, pineapple, carrots, broccoli, and avocado.

Some dairy products like yogurt, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, and fat-free milk also contribute to your daily fluid intake.

As the summer months approach, the priority of proper hydration becomes essential to enjoy long sunny days while ensuring your well-being. So, embrace these tips, stay hydrated, and enjoy the season regardless of the temperatures! /CNA
