The family is flying in to MD, caught a ride on Baltimore charter buses, but when they
get out it’s much hotter than expected! Summer’s heat can take a lot out of
your, let’s make sure you and your guests are hydrated!
Water is so important to the body’s normal functions that
losing just 10% of the body’s water content can cause major health risks.
Thankfully our body has ways of telling us we need water, like when we are
thirsty. One essential function of water is to control the body’s temperature
and in the summer heat during a wedding—there is plenty of ways to make sure
everyone is cool, hydrated, and happy!
Cucumbers have the highest water content of all whole foods.
Cucumber salad is an easy crunch and cool choice; and can replace crackers and
bread in small appetizers, (great for people with gluten allergies.) It doesn’t
stop there though, add cucumbers to mixed drinks and mojitos will surely be a
crowd pleaser.
Celery is another vegetable with a high water content, 96%
actually. Consider making the kids favorite ants on a log to keep the little
ones hydrated. They’re always good with bloody marys and in cold salads.
Everyone loves fruit. Watermelon and strawberries are 92%
water, so you will be sure to keep your guests hydrated with those sweet
treats. A neat way to create a crafty and nice looking fruit arrangement is a
watermelon basket filled with watermelon and other juicy fruits. Strawberries
not only look nice as a garnish on desserts but when combined with a chocolate
fountain are a popular favorite. Grapefruit, cantaloupe, pineapple, and oranges
are all also high in water.
Tomatoes is another water filled favorite—caprese salad
anyone?
Most of all have plenty of water available, bottled is best
so people can take it with them.
Choose a limo service Baltimore loves that provides water on the road as well!
How did you
keep your guests nice and cool during the summer wedding?
