Hydrating food!

Hi folks,

Just in case you wondered, im not going to be talking about pumping water in to pineapples......although some manufactures do that with chicken! You may remember a blog way back in August 2010 expressing the importance of hydration. Research has revealed that certain foods can hydrate you better that plain old water! How? – They contain just the right balance of vitamins & minerals that help our bodies make use of their water content (similar to isotonic drinks). So now I’m going to let you in on these foods that may help you get the recommended 2.5ltrs per day.

The top 5 foods with high water content:

1. Water melon

2. Bell peppers

3. Grapefruit

4. Aubergine

5. Kiwi fruit

Add these foods to your weekly shopping list if you want to improve / maintain concentration levels, energy levels, fluid regulation, waste removal, plus a whole host of other bodily processes. Remember we lose fluids through sweat & breath vapour every day so if your occupation or hobbies involve being active then these foods may be especially valuable.

If you would like to know more about hydration / energy strategies & their benefits for your workforce then contact me through our website at www.occupational-fitness.com.

Thanks
