Hydration plays a role in proper body functioning—from temperature regulation to aiding digestion, circulating vitamins and minerals, cellular reactions, and so much more. 

Although drinking water should be your primary source of hydration, water is present in all foods, and choosing foods high in water can help you boost your hydration levels throughout the day. Beyond that, water-rich fruits and vegetables will also give you a variety of essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
