Water constituents 70% of our body. Having a diet high in water content has many benefits like softer and supple skin, better circulation, assimilation, distribution of nutrients etc. So, what is the best way to get more water into our bodies? Drink ‘n’ glasses of water or have water in its natural form present in fruits and vegetables?
We’ve all heard the advice: drink x number of glasses or y litres of water a day. Stay hydrated! While some of us are able to adhere to this advice, others find it difficult. Do you know how much of our body weight is water? It’s around 70%. Our blood is around 90% water. But this water is not the same as the plain water you drink. In this context, Dr Howard Murad, Author of ‘The Water Secret’ says, “Healthy Hydration is about the water you hold in the body, not the water you drink that passes straight through.”
Healthy hydration comes through eating high water content foods - fruits and vegetables. It is important we sync ourselves with nature by adding these high water content foods to our family meals.Fruits and vegetables contain 80-90% water - water in its purest form - distilled in nature's laboratories in an organic form. Note that cooking destroys the natural water content in such foods.

In addition, add natural drinks to your routine – coconut water, nimboo paani, bel sharbat, etc.
If you do want to drink water, sip it slowly rather than gulping it down.
As your body gets more hydrated, you are likely to feel less thirsty, less warm & more energetic!! Try & see.
