Tired of drinking so much water in the summer? Hydrating fruits

Summer fruits provide water to the body, because nature is wise and affirmation is powerful. It's the hottest time of year, the thermometer rises, and that's why we need to hydrate more often. In winter, on the other hand, fruits provide calories, because it's the time of year when energy needs are different.

That said, doctors and nutritionists make some recommendations, such as not mixing sour fruit with sweet fruit. "If you eat strawberries or oranges, don't mix them with melon, watermelon, or bananas, because sour fruit inhibits ptyalin, a enzyme that facilitates the digestion of carbohydrates. Therefore, mixing sour fruit with sweet fruit can make it difficult for them to finish properly."

Finally, one more recommendation: since summer fruits are refreshing, it's best to eat them outside of main meals of the day. For breakfast or as a snack, they're fine as the main course. However, if you're one of those who like to end meals with a piece of fruit, it's best to opt for pears and apples, which are considered neutral fruits. Other fruits should be eaten between meals, as they can make it difficult to digest.

And always eat them whole, rather than in juice, because then the fiber is lost, which is important and necessary for the body, as it helps regulate intestinal transit.

So, biting into summer fruits means refreshing ourselves, hydrating ourselves, and swallowing nutrients that slow aging and help our bodies stay young.
