From a wellness perspective, hydration is about more than water. It’s about how your body absorbs and uses fluids: ☆ Add herbal teas or infused water with lemon, mint, or cucumber for extra benefits. ☆ Eat water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumber, oranges, and leafy greens. ☆ Balance electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium), especially after sweating or exercising. ☆ Limit dehydrating drinks like coffee, soda, and alcohol.
