Staying Hydrated with Food - Nutrition Nuggets 125

Food makes up approximately 20% of an individual's total fluid intake in a day. If your diet is primarily 'shelf stable' foods that are highly processed with more sodium content, your water and fluid intake requirements are increased. That's why today, we are discussing 'foods that are naturally hydrating' for your body. We discuss why we need these types of foods that provide 'water on the plate', what some symptoms of low fluid intake and dehydration are, plus specific foods to include to help increase your overall daily hydration.Episodes mentioned include:Nutrition Nuggets 29 - Cucumbers - what to do with lots of cukes - homegrown cucumbers https://youtu.be/9fXkgnumzd4?si=3iH8h7RCX1KNLMO1Nutrition Nuggets 74 - Hydration Quiz - Are You Drinking Enough Water? https://youtu.be/aQwv2mC3SdA?si=F0-Ip1YJVNsJoK4REpisode 26 - Keeping Hydrated in the Dry Season https://youtu.be/qEWYN9bpQUk?si=qFCuAbjCO-8Ad1sVNutrition Nuggets 17 - How Much Water Should You Drink Each Day? https://youtu.be/4Z3l4BGtk8o?si=vB-htuHOsQDhYIweNutrition Nuggets 18 - Homemade Smoothies - Blending A Nutrient - Dense and Flavourful Meals https://youtu.be/nxDedM66Tdo?si=og7566L68339s7mgEnjoying the show?
