Hot temperatures? These foods will keep your head cool!
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet...and you're looking for some cooling down? Keep it cool by eating or drinking this food!
- Coconut water: deliciously refreshing, packed with antioxidants and it tastes like liquid Bounty! A bit tricky to crack open a coconut though (tip: use a hammer!).
- Fruit juice: is full of vitamin C, but it is best to stick to one glass, because it also contains a lot of sugar. Adding a little salt will also help balance the electrolytes in your body.
- Blueberries: help cool down your body and they contain a lot of water, so you'll be re-hydrated in no time.
- Bananas: Did you know that bananas are almost ¾ water? They also contain a lot of potassium, which helps to regulate your body moisture after sweating.
- Spicy food: It seems a bit contradictory, but spicy food cools you down. Why? It raises your body temperature, which makes you sweat and then it causes you to feel cool. Clever, right?
- Fish: It comes from the water, so it's also full of water! In addition, fish is also a healthy source of protein, and it tastes good too. So why not have a sea bites salad with that glass of fruit juice?
