Stay Hydrated this week!
Texas is heating up for it’s last leg of summer and many are reporting feeling dehydrated. Many are NOT reporting not feeling hungry, so we combined the two observations and made a list of things you can eat that will keep you feeling hydrated!
Cucumber
at 96% water these have the highest content of water of any food.
Iceberg Lettuce
Darker greens will provide you more fiber, folate and vitamin K; however, when it comes to staying hydrated, crispy iceberg has you covered.
Celery
Full of water, and a great source of fiber. Add some protein-rich nut butter and you have a healthy (and thirst-quenching) snack.
Radishes
A root veggie that is full of flavor, vitamin C and fiber but low in calories. Add them to a green salad or grate them into a summer slaw.
Zucchini & Summer Squash
Another one filled with water!
Asparagus
It’s water content is the same whether you eat it cooked or raw, so go ahead and grill up some spears.
Bell peppers
Water rich and… bonus, bell peppers are high in antioxidants.
