Hydrate for Wellness
It is no secret that this time of year the temperatures heat up. With the elevated temperatures and humidity, we tend to sweat more, even if we don’t realize it. Moreover, we can lose more water and electrolytes in the summer heat.

Consequently, we need to pay more attention to our fluid needs to stay hydrated for wellness. The good news is that Rouses has lots of items that are perfect for keeping you cool and refreshed in the scorching summer weather.

Tips for Drinking More Fluids
- Bring a water bottle with you.
- Sip before you snack! Sometimes when we feel hungry, we may be thirsty.
- Eat your water with ice pop or soup.
- Your body can absorb water from the foods we eat.
- Foods with 90-100% water content:
- Cantaloupe, watermelon, strawberries, lettuce, cabbage, celery, spinach
- Foods with 70-89% water content:
- Bananas, grapes, oranges, pears, pineapples, carrots, cooked broccoli
- Flavoring is fun.
- Adding lemons slices, strawberries, or cucumbers can make water taste completely different!
- Instead of sugar sweetened beverages, drink water instead.
