Discover how much water your meal contains and learn to boost hydration through food.
These foods are over 90% water. Add them to any meal for a hydration boost.
Begin meals with a soup, salad, or cucumber slices. A broth-based soup at the start of a meal can contribute 90%+ water content.
Watermelon (92%), strawberries (91%), oranges (87%), peaches (89%). These satisfy sweet cravings while contributing significant water.
Cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, zucchini, and celery are all 90%+ water. Sauté, spiralize, or eat raw for maximum hydration.
Steaming and poaching preserve water content better than frying or roasting. When you do roast, pair with a water-rich side.
Gazpacho, vichyssoise, and cucumber soup are hydration powerhouses. They count toward fluid intake and are refreshing in summer.
Frozen grapes, berries, or cucumber cubes make great snacks. They melt as you eat, delivering water slowly.
