While drinking water all the time is the best for you, we sometimes lose track of time or there isn't water around when you need it.<\/p>\n<p>However, when you feel that you need to rehydrate quickly, only water comes to mind. But there are <strong>more solutions<\/strong> for quick hydration.<\/p>\n<p>Here they are:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take_Hydrating_Nutrients\"><\/span>Take Hydrating Nutrients<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hydration is not just about water but also about <strong>electrolytes and carbohydrates.<\/strong> The minerals like <strong>sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium<\/strong> are important for nerves and muscles.<\/p>\n<p>These electrolytes are lost through sweat and you need to make them up somehow. Eat plenty of fruit and veggies with these nutrients.You can also take electrolyte drinks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eat_Hydrating_Foods\"><\/span>Eat Hydrating Foods<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the best ways to hydrate is to eat fruits and veggies like <strong>watermelon, tomato and other foods from the list above.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_an_Eye_on_Your_Output\"><\/span>Keep an Eye on Your Output<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your urine is a good tell-tale sign for when you are dehydrated.

However, this isn\u2019t always so easy.

Just like all of the other organs, our skin needs nutrients too. Healthy food can help your skin stay hydrated and soft.<\/p>\n<p>Try these foods:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fish\"><\/span>Fish<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Eat fish like tuna, trout, salmon, herring and others that contain <strong>high amounts of omega-3 acids<\/strong> which can help you retain all of the moisture and make your skin generally stronger.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nuts_and_seeds\"><\/span>Nuts and seeds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>These are full of beneficial vitamin E which is great for helping\u00a0 your skin get better. It can<strong> protect your skin from damage<\/strong>, UV rays, and signs of aging.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avocado\"><\/span>Avocado<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Avocado also has vitamin E and many other nutrients that will help your skin look and feel better. It will keep your skin moist and also<strong> prevent inflammation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sweet_Potato\"><\/span>Sweet Potato<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is a food that\u2019s rich in <strong>beta carotene and plenty of vitamin A<\/strong> which is one of the most important nutrients for healthy skin. These work to keep your skin moisturized and healthy, as well as youthful<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oysters\"><\/span>Oysters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is a food that contains<strong> plenty of zinc<\/strong> which repairs skin with collagen.

This most often happens during the summer months but it\u2019s not impossible during all seasons of the year. People<strong> often forget<\/strong> to take enough water and they eat food that\u2019s not rich in fluids and yet they exercise, do their daily activities and so on.<\/p>\n<p>However,\u00a0 it can happen because you<strong> eat the wrong foods<\/strong> too. Some foods have a <strong>diuretic effect<\/strong> which means that <strong>you will get rid of fluids more quickly.<\/strong> These foods usually make an already existing dehydration <strong>even worse<\/strong> but they may seem like they may satisfy your thirst in the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some to watch out for:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Soda\"><\/span>Soda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Soda is one of those things that seems insanely attractive when it\u2019s hot outside and when you are thirsty. It\u2019s sweet, it\u2019s sparkly and it comes in many different tastes. However, research says that soda is actually full of sugar and that it\u2019s <strong>precisely the reason why it\u2019s dehydrating.<\/strong> Even though it\u2019s liquid, it actually <strong>depletes your body of fluids.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The caffeine which is often in soda is a<strong> diuretic<\/strong> which causes frequent urination.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s even more dangerous about them is that <strong>they give you a feeling of being satisfied<\/strong> and hydrated while you are actually not.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fruit_juice\"><\/span>Fruit juice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Just like soda, fruit juices are really attractive when you are thirsty &#8211; even more so than water &#8211; but they are essentially not helpful. They deplete you of water and usually have extremely high amounts of sugar. This goes for commercial juices especially but if you <strong>drink freshly made juices<\/strong>, you can get more benefits. Water is still a better option, though.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Coffee\"><\/span>Coffee<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Coffee is a perfect drink for the mornings but overdoing the caffeine can be really bad for your hydration.\u00a0 Caffeine is <strong>a known diuretic<\/strong> which means that it can make you lose water. You can still enjoy your coffee, just not when it\u2019s too hot outside or when you feel thirsty.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Detox_tea\"><\/span>Detox tea<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Tea has amazing benefits for your body but the detox tea is dehydrating and it can pose a <strong>serious health risk.<\/strong> Many of these teas flatten your belly and help you drop pant sizes but they work based on a <strong>laxative effect<\/strong> and they act <strong>only on water weight, not your actual weight.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Energy_drinks\"><\/span>Energy drinks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Energy drinks, just like sodas or fruit juices <strong>seem tempting and like a promising solution<\/strong> for your thirst, but they are really not. They contain sugar and caffeine which <strong>rob you of fluids<\/strong> rather than replenish you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alcohol\"><\/span>Alcohol<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Alcohol is never a good solution for thirst, but some people still reach for a beer on a hot summer day. But alcohol is a diuretic and it can make you go to bathroom more. What\u2019s more, <strong>most people don\u2019t drink water to replenish<\/strong> what they have lost, but rather more alcohol which makes it even worse.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Asparagus\"><\/span>Asparagus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Asparagus makes you urinate more often and it causes your body to dehydrate. However, you should still eat asparagus,<strong> just not in huge amounts<\/strong> during summer or when you\u2019re thirsty.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Artichokes\"><\/span>Artichokes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Artichokes are a natural diuretic as well.

It has sugar and empty calories which dehydrate your body.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coffee<\/strong> &#8211; As mentioned already, coffee is a mild diuretic, making it a bad choice for hydration<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lemonade<\/strong> &#8211; This drink may seem like just the thing for when you are thirsty, lemonade often has too much sugar for it to be useful and hydrating.<\/p>\n<p>What's your go-to for fast hydration?
