In the heat of summer, it’s all to easy to sweat out the fluids that keep us healthy and hydrated, especially if you are active. It’s even more important to keep kids topped up and because they don’t want to stop the fun to drink, it’s also more difficult . Still, there is great news; you don’t have to rely on water or sugar-filled juice. These 5 fruits are full of water and come with other great benefits, like weight loss, too.
1. You guessed it – watermelon! Not only is watermelon high in Vitamins A and C, but it has almost 150 grams of water in each serving. Additionally, because it has a relatively low fibre content, larger quantities can be consumed without causing stomach upset. At only 49 calories a serving, this makes for
guilt-free snacking!
2. There are reasons oranges are always given to athletes after exertion. Oranges are high in folates, anti-oxidants, calcium, beta carotenes and B Complex vitamins. Full of fibre, oranges also drip with sweet juice that your kids (and you) will find it hard to get enough of, and you can do some great things with the orange peel, too. 
3. An apple a day will do more than keep the doctor away. Apples can work wonders for your body – from your teeth, to your gut, to your newly energized toes. At 80% water, an apple is the perfect fruit to crunch into when adventuring in the sun.
4. Ok, so maybe wine isn’t the best thing to drink in the sun, even if it is crisp and delicious, but grapes, just like apples, boast an 80% water content rate and many immune boosting vitamins and minerals. And, really, is there anything more luxurious than popping a cool grape in your mouth after a run or bike ride?
5. Oh, the mighty peach. Sharing the same water content and health benefits of other fruits, the peach nevertheless can claim itself the essential fruit of summer – fleshy, juicy and perfectly sweet. Nothing beats a wander down to the local farmer’s market and biting into a peach, warm from its nap in the summer sun.
