In hot weather, it is especially important to quench your thirst in a timely manner, because a lack of moisture can lead to dehydration. Moreover, not only drinks, but also certain types of products help to do this.
In hot weather, it is best to eat foods that contain large amounts of fluids and minerals, which are removed from the body by perspiration. In the first place, whenever possible, to quench your thirst are various fruits and berries. For example, melon contains natural antioxidants and potassium, making it ideal for hot weather. It is also very useful to eat watermelons, pears, apples, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and other fruits in the heat. The fiber contained in them does not allow liquid to enter the body immediately, which creates a certain reserve of moisture in it for a long time.
Fresh vegetables are very useful in hot weather, for example, radishes, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers. A salad made from such ingredients will not only make up for the lack of water, but also saturate the body with vitamins and microelements. In addition, it does not burden the stomach, which is very important in hot weather. And it is advisable to fill it with olive oil with a few drops of lemon juice. It is also advisable to eat a lot of greens - spinach, arugula, dill, celery, mint and others.
Fermented milk products also help fight thirst at high temperatures. In addition, they improve appetite and stimulate the secretion of gastric juice, which is very important for a good appetite, and have a positive effect on the digestion process. It is especially useful to eat liquid fermented milk products, for example, fermented baked milk, kefir or yogurt. And such drinks as koumiss or ayran generally have no equal in quenching thirst.
But what you should not eat is fatty and fried foods that are difficult to digest. And if such products turned out to be seasoned with various spices or pickles, then the need to replenish the body with moisture will be several times stronger.
