stay cool in the hot heat
Greetings!
Summer is here and in full force. During this time of year, we naturally crave raw and fresh foods that have a cooling effect on the body. This is because the lightness of fruits and vegetables, combined with their high water, fiber and vitamin content work together as an internal air conditioner.
Remember to drink lots of water to hydrate your body properly during the hot months. The rule of thumb is to drink half your body weight in ounces of water every day. Drink more if you are feeling overheated!
Finally, take advantage of every opportunity to buy fresh. Explore your local produce markets and try something new! Eating foods that are local and in season is a great way to stay connected to your body, as well as support local agriculture and the environment.
Have fun and stay cool,
