With that in mind, experts at Forbes Advisor alongside qualified nutritionist Abi Roberts, revealed there are certain foods people should limit this summer such as asparagus, especially during the scorching heat.
Food and drink play a “very important” role in the body’s level of hydration.
And dehydration can lead to other health issues, such as urinary tract infections which are a common long-term effect, seizures and in worst case scenarios, hypovolemic shock.
This happens when low blood volume causes a person’s blood pressure to drop, as well as a drop in the amount of oxygen within the body.
