Karachi: What foods should you eat during summer to stay healthy? Medical experts have identified 11 beneficial foods, emphasizing particularly on watermelon and its seeds as consuming watermelon helps to hydrate the body, while the seeds fulfill other nutritional needs.
According to international media reports, watermelon seeds are also a good source of zinc, which is essential for the immune system and supports the functions of the nervous and digestive systems. Watermelon seeds are rich in beneficial nutrients such as magnesium. Consuming 4 grams of these seeds provides 21 milligrams of magnesium, which is about 5% of the daily requirement. Magnesium is crucial for our body’s metabolic functions and is important for nerves, muscles, the immune system, heart health, and bones.
Medical experts also recommended eating cucumbers and drinking cucumber water, explaining that cucumber water makes it easier to drink an adequate amount of water daily while also improving the taste.
Further, they stated that the probiotics and protein found in plain yogurt keep the stomach full and reduce hunger, aiding in weight control. Probiotics found in yogurt activate the body’s immune cells to fight infections and diseases and also reduce inflammation, thus enhancing immunity.
Experts also noted that coconut water has antibacterial properties, which can help fight acne. Preliminary research indicates that drinking coconut water helps maintain healthy skin.
Lastly, medical experts mentioned that lemon water is alkaline and can balance the body’s pH levels. It contains citric acid, which can dissolve uric acid crystals. Start your morning with a glass of warm water with lemon squeezed into it for health benefits.
