10 Summer Foods that hydrate you
26 Jun 2024 by Ted Escobedo 1 min read
Your body typically gets about 20% of the water it needs from the foods you eat throughout the day. Foods that typically provide the highest water content are raw fruits and vegetables. Eating a diet heavy in produce is a good way to give the body vitamins, minerals and fiber while increasing your daily water intake. Any fruits and vegetables with more than 80% water content are a great choice. But these foods (all with a water content greater than 92%) offer the best bang for your buck when it comes to getting the water your body needs:
1. Cucumber (96% water)
2. Iceberg Lettuce (96% water)
3. Celery (95% water)
4. Radishes (95% water)
5. Romaine Lettuce (95% water)
6. Tomatoes (94% water)
7. Zucchini & Summer Squash (94% water)
8. Asparagus (92% water)
9. Bell peppers (92% water)
10. Watermelon (92% water)
