IG: We know we should be drinking lots of water, but what about eating our water?⁠ ⁠ We tell our clients to drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water each day (so for a 150lb person, this would be 75 ounces / day).⁠ ⁠ But many of us forget, or maybe don’t even know, that food contributes to this amount too!⁠ ⁠ Our ancestors didn’t have continuous access to clean drinking water, so they often ate their way to hydration, choosing foods high in water content, and we can do this too!⁠ ⁠ Did you know?⁠ 🥗Iceberg lettuce and celery are both 96% water.⁠ 🍍Pineapple is 87% water.⁠ 🍓Strawberries are 92%, raspberries & cranberries are 87%.⁠ 🥒Cucumber is 96% water, zucchini and radish are 95%.⁠ 🍉Watermelon is 92% water.⁠ 🍑Peaches are 88% water and apricots are 86%.⁠ 🌱Spinach is 96% water.⁠ 🍅Tomatoes are 94% water.⁠ 🍊Grapefruit is 91% water and oranges are 87%.⁠ 🍈Cantaloupe is 90% water.⁠ 🍚Cauliflower is 87% water.⁠ 🌶️Sweet peppers are 92% water.⁠ ⁠ HYDRATION, peeps! Yet another reason to eat real foods from the earth 👊🏼⁠ ⁠ What’s your favourite high water food? Cauliflower is my jam ⁠
