Battling the Heatwave in New Jersey
New Jersey has been experiencing a significant heatwaves this supper, with temperatures soaring well above the 90s and high humidity levels making it feel even hotter. Heatwaves can be particularly challenging as they increase the risk of heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke. It's crucial to stay hydrated, avoid strenuous outdoor activities during peak heat, and consume meals that are light, refreshing, and rich in nutrients to help your body cope with the extreme temperatures.
Importance of Nutrients and Healthy Meals
Eating nutrient-dense meals is especially important during a heatwave. Here’s why:
- Hydration: Foods with high water content, like fresh vegetables and fruits, help keep you hydrated. Our salads and wraps are packed with ingredients that provide essential hydration.
- Electrolytes: Sweating leads to the loss of electrolytes. Consuming balanced meals that include sources of potassium, sodium, and magnesium can help replenish these vital nutrients.
- Energy: The heat can sap your energy levels. Healthy carbs, lean proteins, and good fats are crucial to maintaining energy without feeling sluggish.
- Digestion: Lighter meals are easier to digest, preventing the discomfort that heavy, greasy foods can cause in high temperatures.
