Eat your Water

水是吃出來的

According to the old rule of thumb, you're supposed to drink eight glasses of water per day (and some experts recommend even more). That can seem like a daunting task on some days, but here's the catch: You don't have to drink all that water. Roughly 20% of our daily H2O intake comes from solid foods, especially fruits and vegetables.

舊的經驗法則表示,人一天要喝8杯水(有些專家的建議量甚至更多)。有些時候,喝8杯水似乎是項艱鉅的任務,但你要注意:水不一定都是喝出來的。人體每天的水攝入量約有20%源於固體食物,特別是水果和蔬菜。

It's still important to drink plenty of water-especially in the summertime-but you can also quench your thirst with these hugely hydrating foods, all of which are at least 90% water by weight.

但喝大量水仍舊十分重要--尤其是夏天--但吃這些水分充足的食物也能解渴,這些食物的含水量至少佔總重量的90%。

Cucumber

黃瓜

Water content: 96.7%

含水量:96.7%

This summer veggie which has the highest water content of any solid food is perfect in salads, or sliced up and served with some hummus, says Keri Gans, RD, author of The Small Change Diet: 10 Steps to a Thinner and Healthier You and a consultant to Mindbloom, a technology company that makes life-improvement apps.

這一夏季蔬菜是所有固體食物中含水量最高的食物,適合放在沙拉中,也可以切片和鷹嘴豆泥一起食用,《飲食改變一小步:十個步驟讓您更瘦更健康》(The Small Change Diet: 10 Steps to a Thinner and Healthier You)一書的作者、Mindbloom(一家致力於設計改善生活的應用的技術公司)的顧問和註冊營養師克里·甘斯說道。

Want to pump up cucumber's hydrating power even more? Try blending it with nonfat yogurt, mint, and ice cubes to make cucumber soup. "Soup is always hydrating, but you may not want to eat something hot in the summertime," Gans says. "Chilled cucumber soup, on the other hand, is so refreshing and delicious any time of year."

想要進一步增強黃瓜的保溼度?那就試着將黃瓜和無脂酸奶、薄荷以及冰塊混在一起,做成黃瓜湯吧!"湯總是保溼的,但夏天你肯定不想喝熱湯吧,"甘斯說道。"另一方面,冰凍黃瓜湯一年四季都是如此的爽口和美味。"

Celery

芹菜

Water content: 95.4%

含水量:95.4%

That urban legend about celery having negative calories isn't quite true, but it's pretty close. Like all foods that are high in water, celery has very few calories just 6 calories per stalk. And its one-two punch of fiber and water helps to fill you up and curb your appetite.

有關芹菜含有負熱量的都市傳說並不完全正確,但卻也十分相近。和所有富含水分的食物一樣,芹菜的熱量也很低,每根只含6卡。芹菜富含纖維素和水分,因此能讓你感到飽腹、抑制你的食慾。

This lightweight veggie isn't short on nutrition, however. Celery contains folate and vitamins A, C, and K. And thanks in part to its high water content, celery neutralizes stomach acid and is often recommended as a natural remedy for heartburn and acid reflux.

但這一輕量蔬菜卻不乏營養。芹菜含有葉酸和維生素A、維生素C和維生素K。由於水含量高,芹菜還能中和胃酸,因此常被推薦爲治療胃灼熱和胃酸迴流的天然藥物。

Radishes

小蘿蔔

Water content: 95.3%

含水量:95.3%

These refreshing root vegetables should be a fixture in your spring and summer salads. They provide a burst of spicy-sweet flavor and color in a small package, and more importantly they're filled with antioxidants such as catechin (also found in green tea).

春夏兩季做沙拉時,一定要放入這一爽口的根類蔬菜。少量的小蘿蔔不僅顏色鮮豔,而且還又辣又甜,更重要的是,小蘿蔔還富含兒茶酚(綠茶中也有)等抗氧化劑。
