Six Foods That Help Keep You Cool

6 foods to beat the heat!

It's getting really hot out there in Burlington, especially this week! Read up on these six heat-fighting foods that will help cool you off this summer.

1. Cucumbers.
Since they're mostly made up of water, eating one is like taking a sip. It also helps reduce swelling and bloating!

2. Mint
The cooling fresh mint flavor on your tongue will help you battle the hot temps; add it to any of your favorite drinks for added flavor!

3. Radishes
Full of vitamin C, potassium and antioxidants, radishes have great anti-inflammatory properties. Like the cucumber, they're made up almost entirely of water.

4. Fruits
Tangy and refreshing; eat alone or add to an icy smoothie!

5. Watermelon
Another water-filled treat, watermelons are 90 percent water and also help replenish electrolytes lost when you sweat.

6. Grapefruit
Citrus fruits are some of the best for cooling, and also contain enzymes that help with digestion.

What's your No. 1 way to fight extreme heat? Personally, we don't think the AC in a Hyundai is all so bad ;). Check out our new Hyundai inventory here, and stay cool!
