The weather is hot. This is my salad today. Take out feta and replace with your choice of other cheese or even tuna or salmon. Get some protein in it. Enjoy.
🌞 TOP 2 HYDRATING FOODS FOR HOT WEATHER 🍉🍅
When the temperature rises, staying hydrated isn’t just about drinking more water – it’s also about eating foods packed with water.
🥇 1. Watermelon – 92% Water
Sweet, refreshing and naturally hydrating, watermelon is rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and the amino acid citrulline, which may help support healthy circulation. It’s the perfect summer snack.
🥈 2. Tomatoes – 95% Water
Tomatoes are one of the most hydrating foods you can eat. They’re also packed with vitamin C, potassium and the antioxidant lycopene, which helps protect your cells from damage caused by the sun and everyday stress.
💙 Try this simple summer salad:
