In hot weather, the body loses a lot of fluid through sweat, causing the need to replenish water to increase. Dehydration can affect appetite, causing many people to tend to look for water-rich foods.
Fruits like watermelon and cucumber not only help replenish water but also provide light energy. Therefore, dry, protein-rich or greasy dishes often become less attractive.
Juicy, light foods bring a cooler and more pleasant feeling in hot weather. Fruits chilled can create a refreshing feeling similar to drinking water, thereby becoming more attractive than hot dishes.
High temperatures also reduce cravings as a natural reaction of the body. The reason is that the digestive process - especially with fat-rich foods - can increase internal heat generation. Therefore, the body tends to prioritize easily digestible foods such as fruits, helping to reduce the burden on the digestive system.
Besides, watery fruits also contain natural sugars, providing fast energy without causing weight loss. High water content also helps maintain a feeling of refreshment.
