4 SUPER-HYDRATING FOODS YOU SHOULD START EATING EVERY DAY OVER 40

I recommend the following;

Cabbage

Cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable with valuable nutrients and few calories. It has 92% water content, vitamins C and K, folate, and fiber. It also has glucosinolates compounds that help protect against some cancer types. Incorporating it frequently in your meals hydrates your body, leaving you with a smooth and plump skin.

Watermelon

As the name suggests, watermelon contains over 90% of water, making it a great hydrating vibe. It also supplies lycopene antioxidant, which fights radicals that attack your skin, heart, and brain, especially as you age. Blend it in smoothies or salads and reap the healthy gains from this blessed fruit.

Spinach

Spinach contains 91% of water, fiber, potassium, folate, and calcium. Consuming it every day is super-hydrating. As a result, your skin remains hydrated with enhanced complexion.

Cucumber

I love cucumber because it is among the most hydrating foods. It also offers vitamin K, Magnesium, and vitamin A, which play different functions in enhancing health. It can lower the aging rate, hence reducing wrinkles and other aging signs.

The work of a family doctor includes a wide range of clinical diversity, which requires extensive knowledge and erudition from a specialist. However, I believe that the most important thing for a family doctor is to be human because the cooperation and understanding between the doctor and the patient are crucial in ensuring successful health care. On my days off, I love being in nature. Since childhood, I have been passionate about playing chess and tennis. Whenever I have time off, I enjoy traveling around the world.
