The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) stressed the importance of consuming water-rich vegetables and fruit such as lettuce and watermelon to avoid dehydration during the summer and to meet daily fluid needs. The SFDA explained that it is preferable to consume these foods whole rather than as juice to obtain a sufficient amount of fiber, which helps in maintaining blood sugar levels.
