Slashfood Ate (8): Fruits and vegetables that can hydrate your body

Fruit and vegetable standBy August, I usually find myself exhausted by the constant oppressive summer heat. The sweltering heat drains all the energy out of my body and leaves me walking to work sluggishly. To combat this end-of-summer lethargy, I hydrate myself throughout the day by drinking water.

Drinking water is not the only way you can refuel your body during the summer. Many fruits and vegetables can help you meet 20 percent of your daily fluid needs. Also, doctors have proven that a diet rich in H20-loaded foods can prevent dehydration and foster a feeling of fullness without adding too many extra calories. Below are 8 fruits and vegetables that can help recharge your body:
  1. Watermelons
  2. Cucumbers
  3. Bell peppers
  4. Pineapple
  5. Lettuce
  6. Tomatoes
  7. Apples
  8. Citrus fruits
What are some other fruits and vegetables you eat in the heat to prevent dehydration?
