Eat these nutrient-rich fruits to keep yourself hydrated in summer

Being a tropical country, summers in India can make us feel drained out and exhausted at the same time, and it is imperative to keep yourself hydrated throughout. Not to forget, the burning heat also causes a plethora of health issues like dehydration, skin sensitivity, and vitamin and mineral deficiencies. There is no question that water is necessary for the efficient operation of every system in our body, but other than just drinking water, fruits are also very beneficial to keep us hydrated.
