Did you know that around 20% of the water in the average person's diet comes from the food they eat? Drinking water isn't the only way to stay hydrated this summer. Here's a list of high-hydration foods.

Strawberries
Watermelon
Bell Peppers
Tomatoes
Celery
Zucchini
Cucumbers
Lettuce
Asparagus
Cauliflower

But remember, these aren't replacements for water, and it's still important to meet your daily water requirement, especially in the summer heat! These foods can give you a hydration boost.
