Drinks Lots Of Water.... But No Need To Drink Water

Water sustains life. Without it, none of us would live. Luckily, for most of us, access to water isn’t an issue. What can become an issue is actively drinking it to stay healthy. The least amount you need is 2-3 liters per day. However, experts now believe that most of the water we drink is on a one-way path to the exit. Along with it, it takes important minerals that the body needs. In contrast, a good portion of foods have a high-water content that enables the body to absorb it, hydrating the body for a longer period of time. Knowledge of this has spread, causing more folks to reach for food that is dense in water. Here are a few foods you need to consume to stay hydrated longer!

Foods with a High-Water Content

Eat healthy fruits instead of water. The good news is there are countless fruits and vegetables that can help replenish the body’s water supply. Fruits like watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, grapes, raspberries, and oranges have up to a 95% water content. Vegetables like tomatoes, zucchini, celery, spinach, and radishes also have up to a 95% water content.

In addition to hydrating your body, these fruits and veggies have a healthy number of vitamins, fiber, and other nutrients. These foods not only nourish and hydrate your body but they also help you absorb it. Think of water as a way to flush out toxins and food as a way to replenish it.
