It’s officially August! In most states that means the heat is winding down, but in Texas it’s our hottest month of the year. This summer we’ve been talking about things you can do when outdoors to protect yourself from the heat and sun. Something I recently learned was that what you’re putting into your body is as important as protecting it from the outside.
I always hear WATER, WATER, WATER! Is the key to staying hydrated in the sun. However, I was fascinated to find out that 20% of your daily water intake comes from solid foods like fruits and veggies! So, we’ve put together a list of 15 amazing snack foods that can help keep you safe from the effects of the heat.
- Cucumber (96.7% water)
- Iceberg Lettuce (95.6% water)
- Celery (95.4% water)
- Radishes (95.3% water)
