Although consuming drinking water is the best way to stay hydrated, did you know that orange juice can also help keep you hydrated?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Orange juice contains a significant amount of water\u2014almost 90 percent by weight. Every 8-ounce glass also has the added bonus of naturally providing a host of vitamins and minerals needed for good health, including the Amazing 5<\/strong>\u2014vitamin C, potassium, folate, great taste and no added sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You also get water from some foods, including fresh citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruit and tangerines. Along with vitamins and minerals, fresh citrus fruit additionally provides fiber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adding citrus fruits and juices to your diet can help keep you hydrated any time of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n About Author Gail Rampersaud, MS, RDN, LDN<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Gail Rampersaud\u2019s position includes developing nutrition education materials for the Florida Department of Citrus, University of Florida, community, and other state agencies.
