Eat Your Water-Summer Selfcare

Staying hydrated this time of year keeps the locs lovely, the braids beauteous and your skin glowing. Summer heat and humidity with temperatures near 100 degrees, can take its toll on your skin, and hair causing damage more than skin deep. Eating a variety of ripe veggies and berries lets you eat your water. Ripe, summer fruit is packed with water, and antioxidants like anthocynanins, lycopene, and Vitamin C. All in their natural packaging .
​
Water is everything in the heat and even in the shade. Your kidneys, those  two lima bean shaped organs that put the D in detox, need water to maintain fluid and acid-base balance, regulate blood pressure and electrolytes( sodium, potassium, magnesium and more) and filter waste from meals, meds, and a myriad of other substances. Hydration is self and kidney care, especially during the summer.

Treat yourself this summer. Self care is easier and enjoyable with   a plate or bowl filled with summer fruits like watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries , blackberries ,blueberries and tomatoes. Even yellow squash is 95% water. Our curated Nourish+Wellness shares​ bring you a variety of fresh, organically grown vegetables and berries.
