Getting adequate hydration each day is easier said than done. But fear not: Hydration can be achieved through more than just water consumption, with a diet of foods that nourish and moisturize from the inside out. We chatted with plant-based registered dietitian Amy Gorin, MS, RDN, as well as celebrity cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, author of The Pro-Aging Playbook, for their takes on the most hydrating foods you can find, as well as their top tips for staying hydrated.
Here are the most hydrating foods our experts suggest you start consuming to prevent poor or low hydration symptoms.
“If you purchase 100% Florida orange juice, it is about 89% water!” says Gorin. Other citrus fruits, like grapefruit, boast similar hydration levels. “Just make sure you are not taking any medications that would negatively interact with it.”
Citrus fruit lovers will also benefit from an abundance of immune system-supporting properties like vitamin C and flavonoid antioxidants.
Not only is cucumber (made of 95% water!) a hydrating food, but it also contains vitamins and nutrients that can rid the body of excess fluid.
“Cucumbers are water-packed and loaded with vitamin C,” claims Frank.

For the first time in decades I heard a cuckoo just the other day, its pealing “Wuck-Koo” ringing out so loudly nearby that I felt a quick, sharp jolt of joy at being so closely in its presence. Once a common sound, the distinctive call of this fleeting seasonal migrant from tropical Africa is traditionally believed to signal the arrival of spring. But as is true of so many other once-common species of birds, its numbers, which are down by an estimated 27 per cent since the early 1970s, have been in slow but steady decline for decades.
Summer is the season all gardeners await. The bright sun and warm weather signal the start of the showiest time of year, and nowhere is this excitement more evident than with container gardening.

Monday vases following any Sunday garden opening usually take advantage of flowers used for table decoration, which in June inevitably means sweet peas. However, being even more prepared this year due to an early group visit, I had time to think ahead and made my vase on Saturday.

Ceiling fans can make a stuffy room feel pleasantly cool, but unlike air conditioners, they don’t actually lower the temperature of a room. Instead, fans generate a breeze, creating a wind-chill-like effect as the moving air helps you eliminate body heat. But if your ceiling fan only pushes around hot air, this phenomenon won’t be nearly as effective. To keep your home cool (and comfortably warm in the winter), learn how to change your ceiling fan direction for summer and winter.
