Mangoes
If you love mangoes, you know how expensive they can get during the winter months. This is why you have to take advantage of buying them by the case in the summer! They are high in fiber and have the ability to lower blood sugar in obese adults. When you keep your blood sugar balanced, the body can regulate your hormones and burn fat quicker.
Cucumbers
Cucumbers are also abundant in the summer and you can easily grow them in your garden. They contain about 95% water and are a natural diuretic, which is why many people like to infuse their water with cucumber slices because not only is cucumber water delicious and refreshing, but as an added benefit it can help reduce water retention and reduce bloating.
Cabbage
The best time to eat cabbage is during the summer because it’s so abundant and fresh. If you’ve ever eaten cabbage during the winter, you know how soft and tasteless it can be since it has to travel from far away. It has a high water content, which also helps you detox and release excess fluid. Just don’t eat it as coleslaw because that’s high in calories. Instead make yourself a cabbage salad with just some lemon and salt, which is just as delicious.
