Foods that make you dehydrated in the summer

THIỆN NHÂN (THEO onlymyhealth) |

Some familiar foods can silently cause your body to lose water severely during hot summer days.

Foods high in salt

Salty foods such as French fries, sausages, canned foods, pickled melons... contain high sodium content. When you eat a lot of salt, your body will need more water to balance your blood salt levels. This makes you feel thirsty and urinate more, increasing the risk of dehydration.

Alcoholic drinks

Alcohol and beer are the leading causes of dehydration. Alcohol has diuretic properties, stimulating the kidneys to secrete more urine, leading to a condition where the body cannot retain water. Drinking alcohol in the hot weather also makes the body quickly exhausted.

caffeinated drinks

Coffee, strong tea, energy drinks or soft drinks containing caffeine are also mildly beneficial. Drinking a lot of caffeine in the summer will cause you to urinate a lot, dehydrating and losing essential minerals such as potassium and sodium.

Processed sweets and candy

cookies, candy, packaged foods contain a lot of refined sugar. Sugar reduces the ability of cells to retain water and cause the body to lose electrolyte balance, especially when you are sweating a lot due to hot weather.

Fried foods

Fried foods not only contain a lot of fat but also tend to increase body temperature. When the body has to work harder to digest them, it can easily make you sweat and dehydrate.

Too much animal protein

A diet rich in red meat or too much animal protein can increase the production of Nitrose waste in the body, forcing the kidneys to work harder and excrete more urine - thereby increasing the risk of dehydration.
