The Best Foods for Hydration
By Nicki Miller Reviewed by Briana Rodriquez, R.D. Science-BackedIs there anything better than a cold glass of water on a hot summer’s day? We think not. Water isn’t just a refreshing drink — it helps your body to function at its best. Every part of the body needs water to work, from your skin and organs to your bones and joints. Water is naturally lost through breathing, perspiration and digestion, so it’s important to replenish it by eating and drinking foods and beverages with a high water content.
