She Health:: 4 Delicious Ways To Stay Hydrated This Summer

Welcome Dr. Blessing, another fabulous She Inspires contributor! Yes, her name is really Blessing, don't you just love it!  She will bring some healthy tips and nutrition facts to She Inspires from time to time.
     



1.  Spice Up Your Water

We all know that we should drink water to stay hydrated, especially during the summer, but   
many people find it difficult to drink enough water. Clients tell me that water doesn’t taste   
good or that it’s bland. The solution to this problem is to spice up your water by adding fruits or herbs to give it a little bit of flavor without the added calories.



2.  Drink More Tea

Most teas(especially green tea) are full of antioxidants that slow down aging, protect you from
heart disease and cancer while promoting skin and bone health. Avoid iced teas that contain   
artificial flavorings and high fructose corn syrup. It is also a great way to stay hydrated.



3.  Cold vegetable soup

The heat is beating down on you and you still haven’t decided what to make for dinner. You don’t want to cook because that will heat up the house but you want something simple that everyone (even the kids) will eat. Well fear not, cold soups are a great option. You can use fruits or vegetables (full of nutrients) and minimal to no cooking is required.


 
4.  Freeze fruit
 
It’s that time again. Summer time. The kids are out of school and you want quick healthy snacks that they can munch on as your transport them from their soccer game to the pool. Fear not there are many simple but healthy snacks you (and your kids) can make. Quick health snacks that will keep the kids hydrated include frozen grapes, strawberries and fruit Popsicles. These snacks are a hit with the kids and are fairly easy to make.
