1. You discount the water content of solid foods
About 20 percent of our daily H2O intake comes from solid foods — fruits and vegetables in particular. Although it’s good to be mindful of how much water your body asks for, you can also hydrate with fruits and veggies, most of which are largely water. A cucumber, for example, is 96.7 percent water. Lettuce, celery, tomatoes, watermelon, grapefruit and green peppers are more than 90 percent water. Unlike pure water, however, these foods are rich in a range of nutrients and vitamins. Eating a significant percentage of your water is an excellent way to achieve your health and fitness goals.
