 It's actually hotter than it is 5000 miles south in Atlanta Gorgia ,CNN world headquarters.The reason for the seasoning 1 is the heatwave that is stretching over the eastern part of the US, caused by the high pressure  weather system that is expanding across the country.We've got something for you today though that hopefully help you cool off.I am joined by my CNN news source collegue Karen Kather .She's gonna talk to us about what to eat to stay cool inside while you seek shade on the outside.Right ,Karen?

       Right ,Carl .It's great to have you here even though it's super hot here in Washington.When the weather is like this ,sometimes you don't really feel like eating.But nutritionists tell me it's actually really important that you do. Because you want to replenish 2 all the water that you are losing when you are out there sweating it out.
      When the weather is hot and sticky ,the food you love may not seem as appetizing.You can help your body beat the heat by changing your grocery list.
      We need to be eating .We need to be eating light meals ,eating often.And we also want to make sure that we replace a lot of water that we lose when we are sweating.To replace that water ,register dietion Rebecca Scritch Gill recommands stocking up on fruit and vegis,which are almost all water and quite nutrious.
      Some of the nutrients 3 that  you get in dairy foods you can actually get in vegetables.So for example ,lots of leaving green vegetables  are good sources of calcium 4.
      Build you car with alternative sources of fat instead of pocessed or especially fried foods.
      We are so hot to digest with all that extra fat there.Your best sources of fat in this heat will be fat from season nuts and abcodos.
       Most people know to stay hydrated .But check the labels on flavor waters in other drinks.
       A lot of waters ,you know ,kind of fancified and they've got artifical colors and flavors .Some can have more than a day's worth of sugar in just one bottle.
       Be sure to check the catheum content of the drinks as well.
       And you want to make sure you are not taking in too much cathyin and things like  sodar and things like ice-coffee.Because when it's really hot outside and you work in and run around,your heart rate can start racing 5 very fast.You want to avoid that especially in the heat ,Carl.
        We know,Karen .I always resort to ice-cream .I usually think that's ,oK maybe it's not so healthy but it cools me off.Can I stick with that?
         You can stick with that in moderation like all good things.You know there's a lot of sugar and there's a lot of fat in some ice-creams.So you don't wanna eat ice-creams 24-7, 7 days a week.You might want to stick with survey and other options .The nutritionists gave us with some frozen  fruit maybe sticking with some water lemon or grapes in the freezer.And take a mouth for a nice cool snack. 
       All right .Thanks so much for being with us in Student News.
