There are some foods that naturally make your body hotter or colder; this is why most delis stop serving soup in the warmer months and the ice cream truck isn’t driving up your block on New Years Eve. Now ice cream is certainly one well-known way to cool off, but it isn’t the only option or the healthiest. On hot days, it is a good idea to eat fruits and veggies that contain a high amount of water and electrolytes since they will help replenish what your body loses in its sweat.
Healthy Food Options for Spring and Summer
Oranges, grapes, watermelons, cantaloupes, pineapples, cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce are all tasty examples of foods that will help you cool down, and tropical fruits like bananas, papayas, and mangoes are great sources of energy when you are feeling fatigued and overheated. Oranges, a great source of vitamin C, make an easy, on-the-go snack since they don’t require a container—you can just peel and eat!
