Summer Diet: 5 Ways To Consume This Healthy Summer Fruit For Instant Relief
It is the summer season, which means it's about time to change your diet to keep your body cool in the scorching heat. India is a tropical country, and the summer season can be both painful and draining on the body.
The best way to beat the summer heat is by eating fruits that hydrate and energise your body.
With 92 per cent water content, watermelon is one of the healthiest summer fruits [1]. Here are five ways to consume this fruit for immediate relief from the scorching heat.
Watermelon For Summer: Benefits
Watermelon is an excellent source of antioxidants and nutrients. Apart from supporting hydration, it may also promote a number of aspects of health, as well as prevent certain diseases.
As a great source of vitamins and minerals, watermelon is an excellent source of liquid that hydrates your body in the summer months as well as replenish its lost vitamins and minerals. Watermelon is rich in vitamins B, C, and E as well as minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus [2].
Watermelon, because of its lycopene content, may lessen your chances of getting sunburned during the summer.
But that's not always the case, so it's best to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every day with an SPF of 30 or higher [3].
Ways To Eat Watermelon In Summer
1. Watermelon - just as it is!
In summer, you may want to consume a bowl of watermelon regularly to avoid becoming dehydrated. Slice it or dice it and add some rock salt to a bowl. Sprinkle some salt on top and enjoy! It can help you beat the heat by cooling down and hydrating your body from the inside.
2. Watermelon smoothie
During the summer, watermelon smoothies are another way to consume this hydrating fruit. Making a watermelon smoothie will definitely enhance the flavours of your breakfast and provide a wide range of health benefits!
You can cool your body with a mixture of frozen watermelon cubes, strawberries, and yoghurt along with some mint or basil.
3. Watermelon juice
This is one of the best ways to consume watermelon in summer, as it is easy to prepare at home with just water, watermelon, salt, and a bit of lime juice. Toss a few ice cubes on top and enjoy the fresh drink.
4. Watermelon ice cubes
Watermelon can be cut into cubes or balls and frozen. However, you must remove the seeds first. These watermelon ice cubes can also be added to lemonade as well as being good for your skin.
They can open clogged pores and make you feel relaxed after drinking them. Watermelon ice cubes can be easily stored in the freezer and used for up to a week.
5. Watermelon popsicle
The best way to beat the summer heat is a popsicle. To make watermelon popsicles, just mix fresh kiwi and watermelon without sugar. It's a great dessert for summer that's low in calories and refreshing.
If you want to get kids to eat watermelon, try a watermelon popsicle.
On A Final Note...
Ensure the watermelon is free of dents, nicks, and bruises when you buy it this summer. Look for a yellow spot on the bottom of the melon to indicate whether it is ripe.
When you thump it, it should sound hollow. A juicy, ready-to-eat watermelon will feel heavy for its size. Enjoy the benefits of watermelon this summer!
