As the temperature in the metro rises, our bodies require extra attention to stay hydrated. Dehydration can lead to a range of health issues, such as dizziness, fatigue, heat exhaustion, and even heat stroke. It’s crucial to drink plenty of water and other hydrating beverages to replenish fluids lost through sweat and stay properly hydrated. Along with hydrating drinks, consuming water-rich fruits and vegetables can also contribute to our hydration levels.

Still on the fence on whether to quench your summer thirst with these drinks? Here’ a rundown on why they’re so good for you:

Hydration. Cucumbers are an excellent source of hydration as these are high in water content, making these drinks the perfect choice for staying hydrated, especially during hot summer months or after a workout. Proper hydration is essential for maintaining healthy bodily functions, including regulating body temperature, supporting digestion, and keeping your skin glowing.
Nutrient-rich. Cucumbers are rich in essential vitamins and minerals. Cucumbers are a good source of vitamins C, K, and B vitamins, as well as minerals such as magnesium and potassium, giving you a burst of vitamins and minerals, supporting your immune system, promoting healthy skin, and aiding in digestion.
Antioxidant properties. Cucumbers are a great source of antioxidants, which are compounds that help fight against harmful free radicals in the body. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can cause oxidative stress and damage to cells, leading to inflammation, aging, and chronic diseases. Cucumbers are rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin C and flavonoids, which can help neutralize free radicals and reduce the risk of oxidative damage.

Digestive health. Cucumbers are known for their high fiber content, which can aid in digestion and promote regular bowel movements. Refreshing cucumber drinks can promote healthy digestion, relieve bloating, and support a healthy gut.
Weight management. Cucumbers can be a great addition to a weight management plan as these are low in calories and high in water content, which can help keep you feeling full and satisfied, potentially reducing overall calorie intake. Drinking cucumber drinks can be a healthy and refreshing alternative to high-calorie sugary drinks, helping you maintain a healthy weight.
Skin benefits. Cucumbers are often used in skincare due to their hydrating and cooling properties. They can help soothe and hydrate the skin, reducing inflammation, redness, and puffiness. Drinking cucumber drinks can help support healthy skin from within, keeping your skin looking radiant and fresh.

With Jack’s Lemonade Cucumber Series, you can enjoy a variety of taste experiences while reaping the benefits of cucumbers and other natural ingredients.

Lowbrow Casual Restaurants, the company behind restaurant brands such as Fowlbread, Beefier and Bad Bird, has recently launched its new store at Glorietta.

BBX was originally intended to be an extension of the group’s fried chicken chain Bad Bird (with BBX standing in for “Bad Bird Express”) but it has outgrown its old concept and evolved its own identity.

BBX is now a semi-self-service restaurant that provides mall-goers an alternative to other fast-food places. This is the place to be for great-tasting and afforadably priced fried chicken, burgers and rice meals.

Oh, and being self-service means that you fetch your own condiments, clean up after yourself and pack your own leftovers for takeaways. (So parents, do take your kids here to teach them the value of CLAYGO.)

During a recent visit together with my foodie friends, I was able to try out some of BBX’s offerings, which included:

Fried Chicken.

Fried Chicken Plate (Php179). Juicy and crispy chicken deep-fried Southern-style to golden brown perfection and served piping-hot with house-made gravy. The fried chicken piece is big, satisfying and well-complemented by the gravy. This is available in safe and spicy variants. Diners also have the option to go boneless just by adding (Php20).

BB Crispers (Php259). Crispy fried boneless chicken thighs in a garlic and butter glaze. A variant in better than buffalo glaze is also available.

Sandwiches.

Ruben Sandwich (Php289). Corned beef, pickled onion and cheese between toasted sourdough. I’m not a fan of corned beef sandwiches but the pickled onion and the sourdough give this sandwich a special kind of taste that I like.

Crispy Fish Sandwich (Php246). Deep-fried fillets of fish, sliced tomatoes and shredded cabbage in creamy sauce in a fluffy artisanal burger bun.

Rice Meals.

Double Longganisa and Egg (Php229). House-made longganisa patties served with sunny side up egg, atchara and vinegar.

Double Burger Steak (Php259). Two flavorful patties made from 100% ground fresh beef served with corn and cream cheese.

For these rice meals, an option to upgrade to garlic fried rice is available for Php29.

Salad.

Garlic Sesame Chicken (Php230). A light and fresh salad of romaine lettuce, fried chicken and croutons doused in garlic sesame dressing.

Side Dish.

Corn and Cream Cheese (Php89). A lovely blend of sweet corn and cream cheese which serves a great accompaniment to any of BBX’ rice plates or sandwiches.

Diners also have the option to add this or any other side dish plus iced tea to any rice plate or sandwich for just Php99.

Desserts.

Huskies (Php119). Parfaits made of chia seeds and coconut milk flavored with mango and coconuts. Other variants include pineapple dragonfruit and chocolate tiramisu.

BB Cakes (Php125). Moist cake rolls of Spiced Pumpkin & Cream Cheese and Ube & White Chocolate which serve as a fitting end to the meal. Also available in Banana & Dulce de Leche and Double Chocolate flavors.

BBX is definitely a welcome addition to my favorite Glorietta food haunts. Why don’t you drop by and give it a try?

Many thanks to the management and staff of BBX for the wonderful food and to Jen of Sand Under My Feet for extending the invitation!

BBX is located at Second Floor, Glorietta 2, Glorietta Complex, Makati City, open Sundays to Thursdays from 10am to 9pm and Fridays to Saturdays from 10am to 10pm. For inquiries, call +63 2 73738659.

Disclosure: Together with fellow foodies, I attended a good tasting held in this establishment wherein the items mentioned above were served to enable us to sample the fare to facilitate an honest review and were not paid for by the participants including myself.
