No Need to Gulp Gallons of Water, Eat These Foods Instead
We don’t know about you, but we’re tired of
gulping down glasses and glasses of water every day just to meet the
daily norm of hydration, but at the same time, no one wants to become
dehydrated, especially not in the scorching summer heat when it can be
especially dangerous. To add more variety and interest to hydration, we
recommend you eat your way to meeting your daily ration of water by
eating more of these 16 fruits and vegetables each containing at least

Alternatively, you can also drink more herbal teas, some of which have
also been found to have some extra health benefits, such as relieving
bloating or reducing inflammation in the body.
