The weather is humid these days. If the sun is strong, you can sweat like rain even if you walk a little. The so-called "dehydration season" has entered.
If dehydration is prolonged, it is vulnerable to various diseases and symptoms such as dizziness, constipation, and urinary calculus. The best way to prevent such a situation is to drink enough water. The problem is that more people have difficulty drinking more than two liters of water a day than they thought.
If it is difficult to drink a lot of water, eating food that helps you stay hydrated may be one way. In the dehydration season, we will examine three foods that help supply moisture.
Coconut Water
Coconut water is a food that many sportsmen love because it is effective in replenishing water and electrolytes. In particular, electrolytes are useful for proper fluid balance and regular heart rate maintenance, and should be replenished so as not to be deficient. It also has its own flavor and sweetness, which can replace hydration for people who have difficulty drinking water.
Milk
Milk contains not only water but also important electrolytes and nutrients. It even gives a feeling of fullness. It may be a good choice when you are dehydrated or have no appetite due to overwork or heat. In fact, one experiment found that battery milk and skimmed milk provide more water than water for 3-4 hours after ingestion.
Melon
Melons have a high moisture content, so they are one of the best alternatives to replenish water. If you cool it in a refrigerator or freezer, you can cool your body as well as supply water. Melon also contains GABA and vitamin A and C, which help improve your health when you take an appropriate amount.
