9 fruits you should have this summer

With every single degree rise in temperature you will feel even more thirsty and sweaty. While you cannot avoid going out in the sun completely, there’s definitely something you can do about preventing the risk of dehydration and regaining all the lost minerals. Here are ultimate summer fruits that are not only light and tasty but also help you stay hydrated and make you feel refreshed.

1. Sweet lime/Mosambi: Closely following oranges, this citrus fruit also offers somewhat similar health benefits. It is a perfect blend of sweet and sour taste that stimulates your taste buds to make your mouth watery.

2. Pineapples: Although its external appearance may be thorny and pricky, pineapples are blissful internally. Not many people would know that this distinctively patterned fruit has more water than many other fruits that appear juicy. Each pineapple has 87% water, which is approximately equal to water content found in oranges. But of course the size of fruit and amount you consume will make a difference.

3. Figs: Figs might not be a rich fluid source to keep you hydrated like other summer fruits but they do offer several other benefits you need during summer. Figs being rich in potassium regulate blood pressure and act as a natural remedy for digestive problems that you’re likely to suffer from during summer. 


4. Mango: Summer and mangoes are inseparable. Almost every Indian keenly waits for summer season only and only to relish the king of fruits. Apart from its delicious taste mangoes are loaded with nutrients and have several medicinal properties. Whether you eat them with your salad or have them slice by slice, mangoes could definitely be the only reason you would love this summer.

5. Musk melon: Related to the family of melons, this fruit also offers high water content (about 72 gm water by weight). This soft, succulent fruit will not only give you a refreshing feeling but also have a soothing effect on your digestive system to help it function smoothly.

6. Watermelon: This wonder fruit is so fibrous that 92 percent of its weight is only due to the water it holds. Not only does it quench your thirst, it also replenishes all the minerals you lose by sweating. It also contains a compound lycopene that gives you ultimate protection against damage caused by sun. Plus, it’s an excellent source of vitamin A and C.

7. Litchi: This bright red fruit that externally resembles strawberries is actually succulent, soft, fleshy and juicy internally. They are irresistibly delicious and help to keep you hydrated. Every single lychee contains around 77-83 percent of water content by weight. 

8. Oranges: Nothing can beat summer heat and fatigue like citrus fruits do. One of the richest fruits with vitamin C, oranges also offers minerals like potassium which are required in large amount during summer. Oranges contain 80 percent water, so obviously you will stay hydrated. 

9. Sweet lime/Mosambi: Closely following oranges, this citrus fruit also offers somewhat similar health benefits. It is a perfect blend of sweet and sour taste that stimulates your taste buds to make your mouth watery.
