The foods that keep you hydrated

Water doesn’t have to come in eight 8-ounce glasses daily. Fresh fruits and vegetables, and various beverages, are viable sources of hydration. With a summer of record-breaking heat upon us, hydration is more important than ever. Taking in liquids is crucial, but hydration can go beyond simply drinking water. There are plenty of things besides plain water that will keep you hydrated, experts say, including food and drinks that appeal to you. “We think that we need to drink a lot of water all the time because we hear that all the time,” said Tamara Hew-Butler, a sports medicine scientist at Wayne State University who specializes in fluid balance. “You gotta drink your eight glasses – hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.” But any food or drink that has fluid content will be hydrating, she said: “Your body doesn’t care where hydration comes from, it just needs fluid.”
