If you are someone who loves to spend time outside during the summer, it’s important to keep yourself cool and hydrated. Eat these foods and make sure you keep your cool this summer.

Mint

Not only do they taste refreshing, both mint and peppermint have properties that can cool the body from the inside. The effects of mint will last a while so make sure you add them into all sorts of drinks for added flavor and coolness.

Pomegranate Juice

Pomegranate juice is one of the best drinks you can have. With its high content of antioxidants and cooling properties, you need to have this whenever you’re outside. You can also eat the seeds and have the same effect.

Citrus

Citrus fruits should be consumed often during the summer because of the high vitamin C content. Vitamin C has the ability to regulate body temperature, which makes it a great choice to have during beach trips and general outdoor activities.

Watermelon

Just as the name says watermelon has a very high water content which is one way it can keep you cool. It also can help regulate body temperature but works better if you eat it earlier in the day. Try to eat it towards the morning though to digest it better.
