5 ways to eat your water

By Chloe Kasper

Feel like you can't drink any more water? Try eating it! Mallory Storrs, a Registered Dietitian at Advocate South Suburban Hospital, suggests eating these fruits & veggies to stay hydrated all summer long.

Watermelon

Watermelon is 92% water and the most consumed melon in the United States. Eat it by the slice or cut it into small, bite-size pieces to add to your favorite summer salad.

Zucchini

Made of nearly 95% water, zucchini is one of the most hydrating veggies. Lots of its water is lost when cooked, though, so try to eat it raw when possible.

Strawberries

This springtime fruit is 91% water and the perfect finger food for little ones. Pack a handful of these berries in your child's lunch for an easy way to keep them hydrated on-the-go.

Cucumber

Made of 96% water, the cucumber is a foolproof way to squeeze more water into your diet. This vitamin-enriched vegetable is also a great way to stay energized during long summer days.

Grapes

Grapes are 80% water and with over 8,000 varieties, there is a grape for everyone! Whether bought at the grocery store or picked right off the vine, grapes are one of the tastiest summer snacks.
