JAKARTA - Your body is tired after doing non-stop activities all day long. If it is followed by a headache, it is very likely caused by dehydration. Dehydration is actually caused by trivial things but it is rarely realized, namely a lack of fluids in the body which can be overcome by drinking enough mineral water.

Because 62 percent of our body contains fluid, the effect will be disturbing if you lack of fluids. Well, everyone's fluid needs are different. Depending on the body weight, how strenuous your activities are, and your body condition.

Given the symptoms of dehydration can hinder your activity, you can overcome it by eating fruits that contain lots of water. Here is a list of fruits that can compensate for the mineral water you consume every day.

Watermelon

Watermelon is often found as a dessert fruit in rice boxes or at meals together. Not without reason to choose watermelon, because watermelon contains so much water, fiber, vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants.

Strawberry

The color is red, the taste of the fruit is sweet, slightly sour. One strawberry contains 91 percent water so it can treat dehydration. Plus the high vitamin C content can reduce chapped lips and canker sores.

Orange

Based on a study, consuming one orange is the same as drinking one glass of mineral water. Although it cannot replace the role of mineral water to relieve thirst, oranges are still useful for overcoming dehydration.

Cantaloupe

Cantaloupe is easy to find during Ramadhan. Similar to strawberries, 90 percent of this fruit is water so it can supplement your fluid needs during fasting. The aroma is very exotic while the taste is faintly sweet. The cantaloupe is most suitable to turn into iced drinks or infused water.

Cucumber

More than 90 percent of one cucumber contains water so it can be consumed when dehydrated. Cucumbers are usually processed into pickles, and soup mixes. But no need to worry, because cucumbers can be eaten raw without being processed.

Melon

When you peel a melon, you will know that it has a lot of water in it. When you split it, the center of the seeds is stored a lot of water. The aroma of melon is very well known because melon is also a flavor of syrup drinks.
