Did you know that approximately 60% of the human adult body is water? So it’s no wonder that things such as our mood, attention span, and energy levels can be impacted if you don’t stay hydrated throughout the day. Staying hydrated doesn’t need to be complicated and plain water is not the only option in order to keep your fluid levels up either. Other drinks and foods can have a significant effect. Many foods are also loaded with water. Meat, fish, eggs and especially fruits and vegetables all contain significant amounts of water, and you’ll be pleased to know that your coffee and tea count too! Check out this article  on 19 Water-Rich Foods That Help You Stay Hydrated for more examples.
