Foods of hot days/ The well-known Nutriconist reveals what you should and should not eat

The African heat and summer generally dictate a different food regimen.

"It is necessary to replace all the fluids we lose through sweating by drinking as much water as possible, fluids, but not sugary and carbonated fluids, and juicy fruits. We have watermelon, melon, peaches, cherries, apricots, which are fruits rich in juice and antioxidants, as well as mineral salts that we lose during the summer", said nutritionist Enkeleda Ferrollari.

During the day we should consume 1 and a half to 2 liters of water per day. Greens are a very good source of mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants. Tomato, cucumber, green salad, eggplant, pepper.

We should have plenty of greens at every meal. All suits must be on the table.

We must limit the amount of animal fats, fatty meat, butter, fried foods. Let's replace them with fish, chicken fillets.

Fast, ready-made foods, such as hamburgers, sandwiches, soufflés, loaded with a lot of animal fats, should be consumed even less during the summer.

Cold vegetable soups are a very good source of fluids and micronutrients such as salts, vitamins and fiber.

Summer vacations, entertainment and holidays cause us to consume more alcoholic beverages which actually dehydrate us more.

"The amount of alcohol we consume should be moderate. Its consumption should be accompanied by water consumption, to make it possible to hydrate the body", said Ferollari.
