No need for separate fatigue recovery supplements... Make sure to eat this fruit during summer!
◆ 'Pink Peach' Excellent for Fatigue Recovery
Pink peaches come in two varieties: the white-fleshed 'Baekdo' and the yellow-fleshed 'Hwangdo'. Baekdo has high moisture content and is soft, making it ideal for eating fresh. In contrast, the firm Hwangdo can be processed into canned peaches. Since peaches lose their flavor if stored in the refrigerator for too long, it is best to keep them at room temperature and refrigerate them about an hour or two before eating to enjoy them chilled.
The sweet aroma of peaches is charming and helps with skin beautification, fatigue relief, and nicotine breakdown. Rich in vitamin C, it inhibits melanin pigment and protects the skin from freckles and dark spots. The organic acids that give a tangy taste aid in nicotine removal, and various sugars, vitamins, minerals, and organic acids that are quickly absorbed by the body are highly effective in recovering from fatigue.
◆ Watermelon that quenches thirst and rehydrates
Watermelon is low in calories and rich in water, making it the most effective for hydration during the summer. It also helps people who are exercising for weight loss. There is research showing that drinking watermelon juice an hour before exercise can reduce muscle soreness. This is thanks to a component called citrulline, which is a type of amino acid found in watermelon. When choosing a watermelon, it is best to select one with a bright-colored rind and distinct stripes.
Watermelon is over 90% water. During the hot summer, if your body lacks hydration, your concentration decreases, fatigue increases, and even feelings of depression can occur. For people who don't usually enjoy drinking water, replenishing fluids with sweet summer watermelon is an effective solution.
◆ Low-calorie and quick fatigue recovery: 'Chamoe' (Korean melon)
Cantaloupe has lower calories compared to its sweetness and high water content, making it an effective summer fruit for quenching thirst. The more delicious the cantaloupe, the deeper and more vivid the yellow color, with clear and pronounced ridges. Since the sweetness of cantaloupe decreases when left at room temperature, it should be stored in the refrigerator to be enjoyed cool.
The glucose and fructose contained in Korean melons are quickly absorbed by the human body, making them good for fatigue recovery, and folate, one of the essential nutrients, helps prevent anemia. Beta-carotene, which is abundantly found in the skin of Korean melons, is called a natural antioxidant and is known to protect liver function and help prevent heart disease. However, for patients with kidney disease, the potassium content in Korean melons can be harmful, so caution is necessary.
