Tired of Drinking Water? 

Here are three secrets from our Health Dare Coaches of how to stay hydrated in the summer without guzzling a jug of water every day!

No one can argue that hydration is perhaps one of the most important principles of proper nutrition. Every diet program begins with “drink more water.” Water is important for every body system and function for your body, so every health professional recommends water on a daily basis. However, sometimes power drinking marathons can be a burnout! Here are three sources of hydration that can be used in addition to your daily water intake to enhance your hydration without making you feel like Sponge Bob!

1. FRUIT

Fruit is abundant in the summer, and most fruits are filled with water! Watermelon, cantaloupe, and strawberries contain over 90% water! And, these fruits are sugar free, low calorie, and just flat out delicious! So go ahead, curb that sweet craving and get hydrated at the same time with delicious, hydrating fruits.

A veggie plate makes a great snack on a hot summer day, and your body will thank you for it as it squeezes every last drop of hydration out of its delicious leafy greens!
