The high water content and many of the veggies found in soups all combine to deliver a hefty dose of hydration. A surprising study showed chicken soup may be better for rehydration than a sports drink, due to its carbohydrates and electrolytes.16 Electrolytes, including sodium and calcium, help with hydration by balancing the amount of water in your body.17 Jenny Craig’s Italian Wedding Soup is a great post-workout meal to start rehydrating and has a healthy mix of protein, carbs, sodium and dietary fiber.
