About 92% water per volume.<\/p>\n
High in lycopene and highly alkaline this fruit is a summer staple. So refreshing and cooling on a hot summer day, it\u2019s a fan fav at BBQ\u2019s and summer parties.<\/p>\n

Strawberries<\/strong><\/p>\n About 92% water per volume.<\/p>\n High in antioxidants and vitamin C, also a good source of vitamin A, manganese and potassium, these sweet, succulent berries are best when consumed in season. Their softness, ripeness and sweetness in season can\u2019t compare. One cup of strawberries contains 160% of your daily value of vitamin C. And you were always told to eat oranges for C. Eat these and get your C and water in one swoop.<\/p>\n Grapefruit<\/strong><\/p>\n 91% water per volume<\/p>\n When eating grapefruit you not only hydrate but also burn fat and control cravings. Now who doesn\u2019t want that?! And grapefruit are encouraged for heart health.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cantaloupe<\/strong><\/p>\n 90% water per volume<\/p>\n One serving will not only hydrate you but also give you 100% of your daily value of vitamins A & C. One of my favorite ways to enjoy is having cantaloupe\/sweet potato juice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lettuce<\/strong><\/p>\n 95% water per volume<\/p>\n While iceberg gets a bad rap, it is the lettuce with the highest water content. Other lettuces have slightly lower water but are more nutrient dense. Most lettuces have are high in vitamins A & K and high in folate. From salads to smoothies and juices, lettuce has many uses.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Zucchini<\/strong><\/p>\n Over 95% water per volume<\/p>\n A good source of vitamin C and potassium, this versatile vegetable can be added to nearly everything. From raw noodles to juicing, when these are plentiful during summer, make full use of them. You can even shred one and add to pasta sauce to up the nutritional value.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Celery<\/strong><\/p>\n 95% water per volume<\/p>\n High in water and very low in calories rich in vitamins A, C and K. It hasn\u2019t always been one of my favorite vegetables because its flavor is so strong but I always keep it on hand because I know how good it is for me. From soups to juices, celery is a household staple.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cucumber<\/strong><\/p>\n 96% water per volume<\/p>\n High in vitamin K and powerfully fighting free radicals this vegetable is also an anti-inflammatory food. Research even shows that drinking watermelon or cucumber juice after a workout is twice as effective at hydrating the body than water. So post workout grab your watermelon\/cucumber juice and drink up. (And it isn\u2019t surprising their so hydrating. They belong to the same botanical family as two above items: zucchini and melons).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For more on water, check these out:<\/p>\n![\"strawberries](\"https:\/\/www.inspiredtolivefully.com\/staging\/4119\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/DSC_02441-e1401248976462.jpg\")
