Maintaining proper hydration with seasonal fruit and vegetables

Summer is here and with the increase in temperature, our body needs to stay hydrated to avoid negative consequences on our physical well-being.

It is essential to drink, even if not thirsty, to supply fluids and replace mineral salts and vitamins lost through sweating. There is nothing better than centrifuged juices, smoothies, shakes and juices made with fresh fruits and vegetables.

Smoothies, centrifuged juices, shakes and juices made with fresh fruit and vegetables are tasty, refreshing, sweet and ideal for any occasion: as a snack, after dinner or during physical activity, they help to restore and keep the proper hydration level thanks to their high water content. Moreover, thanks to the nutrients they contain, they are a precious ally against heat induced fatigue and oppressive heat. Being rich in vitamins and mineral salts, they are not only refreshing, but nourishing and hydrating too.

Smoothies, shakes and milkshakes made with seasonal fruit such as apricots, melons, peaches, watermelons and greengages should have a creamy texture, and should be consumed freshly made to preserve nutrients and taste and prevent liquid from turning brown due to oxidation. Easy to make, they could be ideal for vegans and for those who suffer from lactose intolerance by replacing milk and yoghurt with ice, soy or rice drinks.

Centrifuged juices, just like smoothies and shakes should be prepared with raw and carefully cleaned fruit and vegetables, and should be consumed just after the preparation to preserve the taste and the nutrients. Purifying, detoxing and a valid help to blood circulation, depending on the produce used for their preparation, they are vital to our general sense of wellbeing.
