The Power of Pre-Workout Nutrition
When the UAE’s summer hits its peak, staying hydrated becomes not just a priority, but a necessity. The scorching heat demands that we keep our hydration levels in check to avoid fatigue and other health issues. But hydration isn’t just about gulping down liters of water—your diet plays a significant role too. Let’s dive into how you can stay hydrated with some of the best foods:
Watermelon: The Ultimate Thirst Quencher
Watermelon is more than just a sweet summer treat; it’s a hydration powerhouse. With about 92% water content, watermelon is perfect for keeping you hydrated. It’s also rich in vitamins A, B6, and C, antioxidants, and amino acids. Plus, it’s low in calories—making it a guilt-free snack. Whether you’re enjoying a slice on the beach or mixing it into a salad, watermelon is your go-to for staying cool and hydrated.
Cool as a Cucumber
- Cucumbers are another fantastic choice for hydration. They’re composed of about 95% water and are incredibly refreshing. Cucumbers are low in calories but high in important vitamins and minerals, including vitamins K, C, and several B vitamins. They also provide a good dose of fiber, aiding in digestion. Adding cucumber slices to your water or salads can boost your hydration and fiber intake effortlessly.
FITT Meals’ Special Treat: Watermelon Summer Salad

This delightful salad combines juicy watermelon, crisp cucumber, and creamy feta cheese, creating a perfect balance of flavors and hydration. It’s a delicious way to keep your hydration in check while enjoying a nutritious meal.
Remember, staying hydrated isn’t just about drinking water. Your food choices can significantly contribute to your daily hydration needs. Incorporate these hydrating fruits and veggies into your diet to stay cool and healthy.
P.S keep your fiber intake high, and meet your minimum water requirements per body weight.
