Most of us know that it’s important to stay hydrated, especially on hot summer days when it’s easier to become dehydrated. Water helps regulate our body temperature, delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells, cushions our joints and nourishes our skin.
The water in fruits and vegetables also includes naturally occurring sodium and other minerals which can help replace electrolytes lost through sweat. Plus, their natural sugars help re-energize muscles after exercise. And for only 16 calories, you’ll also get some potassium, a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure, and bone-building vitamin K, plus a smattering of other vitamins and minerals.Like cucumber, zucchini is also made up of 95-per-cent water. If you eat a medium-sized zucchini you’ll get three-quarters of a cup of water.
There’s another reason to eat this water-dense berry: Like other berries, strawberries are a top source of anthocyanins, potent antioxidants believed to help slow cognitive decline and guard against Alzheimer’s disease.
