Hydration is the foundation of vibrant health. Staying hydrated every day delivers numerous health benefits (and let's be honest, we all know we *should* be drinking more water). When you're hydrated your organs can function optimally, your joints are better lubricated, your skin will look better, and you can feel fuller longer.
Luckily, you can stay hydrated this summer with these 5 water-rich foods:
1. CUCUMBER
This one should come as no surprise, but did you know cucumbers have 95% water content?
Cooling, refreshing, and ultra hydrating, cucumbers are perfect as a healthy snack or in a yummy summer salad.
2. CHIA SEEDS
This one might be a surprise!
Chia seeds absorb about 10Xs their weight in water & are packed with soluble fiber, which means you stay hydrated and feel fuller longer.
2 Easy Ways to Enjoy the Health Benefits of Chia Seeds:
Chia Seed Water: Add about 1-2 tablespoons of chia seeds into an 8oz glass of water for an extra boost of hydration.
Chia Seed Pudding: This delicious, satisfying breakfast is SO simple to make! Check out my Easy Chia Seed Pudding Recipe Here.

Sweet, cooling, and super hydrating! Watermelon is rich in antioxidants, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and magnesium...no wonder it's a summertime favorite.

Are you surprised this one made the list?
