You Can’t Spell Watermelon Without Water

Hydration has never tasted this good.

Staying hydrated matters, especially when you’re active. But here’s something most people don’t think about: a big part of your daily fluid intake comes from the food you eat, not just what you drink.

The Mayo Clinic notes that many fruits and vegetables, like watermelon, are almost 100 percent water by weight and contribute significantly to daily hydration.¹ The CDC confirms that daily fluid intake includes water from foods, plain drinking water and other beverages combined. Every bite counts.²

At 92% water by weight, watermelon is one of the most hydrating whole foods you can eat. Watermelon electrolytes, including potassium at 6% of your Daily Value per 2-cup serving, contribute to your daily electrolyte intake during activity.³

The best part? There’s nothing complicated about it. Slice it, blend it, freeze it or just grab a wedge on your way out the door. Watermelon easily fits into your existing routine, before a workout, during a warm-weather outing or as a refreshing cool-down after.

“Fluid in every bite. 92% water. Simple as that.”

Simple ways to make watermelon part of your hydration routine:

• Keep pre-cut watermelon in the fridge for easy grab-and-go snacking.
• Blend it into a smoothie before morning workouts.
• Pack frozen watermelon cubes in your bag or cooler for warm-weather activity.
• Pair it with a pinch of sea salt post-workout to support fluid and electrolyte replacement.
