My blogging friend Molly has a great site called Transatlantic Notes, and she shared some really valuable information about food that will hydrate you this hot hot summer!
She writes:
“No matter the season, staying hydrated is crucial for maintaining overall good health, but it’s especially important during the summer months. Water is essential for various bodily functions, including digestion, nutrient absorption, and circulation. It also aids in maintaining skin health and supports joint lubrication, reducing the risk of injury.”
And it’s not all fruit!
Yes, Radishes are a terrific choice as well! Molly goes on to write:
“Having an insufficient intake of water throughout the day can lead to dehydration, which is known to cause fatigue, headaches, and impaired cognitive function. Hot weather carries a higher risk of becoming dehydratedbecause of increased sweating, which leads to fluid loss and inadequate amounts of water to carry out normal bodily functions.”

Bravo Molly!
Watermelon is one of the most delicious ways to stay hydrated…and can liven up a party as well!
Watermelon Mojito Popsicle anyone?
Here’s the delicious recipe!

Bite! Eat! Repeat! 
Thank you so much for sharing my post, and for the amazing popsicle recipe idea! They sound incredible, and perfect for the summer heat.
Yes they are delicious! I loved your list and learned a lot from it! As so many of us are sweltering in the heat right now, more important than ever!
Hi John, I love watermelon. It is a diuretic so I go a little easy on it.
Sounds good.
these sound incredibly refreshing!
Funnily enough, my wife came home with a watermelon on Friday. Then the temperature dropped, and it started raining! (Still raining!)
Best wishes, Pete.
