t’s that time of the year again when the weather is consistently sunny and the sky is a cheery shade of blue. IThough the heat can be relentless, travelers cannot help but take advantage of the good weather and head outdoors. Health experts advice you to keep hydrated when doing so. Water aids in digestion, flushing out waste, keeping your skin fresh, and preventing the body from overheating - a condition that may lead to heat stroke. Eat to hydrate. 4 To help avoid health issues, here are tips on how you can enjoy the summer heat while staying hydrated. Instead of consuming sweetened cold drinks to refresh yourself, eat fruits and vegetables. Some easy-to-find foods with high water content are watermelon, cucumber, iceberg lettuce, melons, and cauliflower. Broccoli is also an excellent choice. If you’re heading to Baguio, you can easily find affordable and fresh broccoli in the public market. 1 2 Drink before going out.
