If you're like me, you find it
difficult to drink eight glasses of water a day, as recommended by
health professionals. No need to fear, those same health
professionals know water can be found in some of our favorite foods.
The even better news is eating water-filled foods may aid your weight
control efforts by helping you to feel full.
I really can't stress enough the
importance of water for overall health and wellness. Our bodies lose
about 10 8-ounce glasses worth of water per day, just from the random
activities life, such as breathing, sweating, and passing wastes –
consuming water-filled foods can easily replenish five of those lost
glasses.
Best
food sources for water:
Apples
Celery
Cucumbers
Fruit
Juices (100% please!)
Grapefruit
Grapes
Milk
Shellfish
Watermelon
It won't hurt you to drink
more than the recommended 8 per day, just know that when you're
sweating profusely from an especially rigorous workout you may need
extra replacement water, so bring some apple slices along for the
ride.
