We’re fully in the dog days of summer, and nearing fall. That time of the year when the ice cream immediately melts out of the cone and all over your fingers; when you have to do a little dance to make it across your driveway barefoot; when you’re slathering on the SPF as much as possible. It’s also so important to stay hydrated.
You’ve heard it before — the human body is 60 percent water. For babies, that number is around 78 percent, whereas, in adult women, the body is made up of around 55 percent water. The amount you need to survive is varied according to your age, weight, gender, and location.
Consider this:
- Males & females should consume 30-40 mL/kg of water per day.
- For example, if you weigh 120 pounds at age 20, that equals about 0.58 gallons of water per day. (Or about 9.28 cups)
- For example, if you weigh 150 pounds at age 35, that equals about 0.63 gallons of water per day. (Or about 10 cups)
- Not all the water you consume daily comes from water. It also comes from the foods you eat.
And boy, is it healthy to stay hydrated. Water helps many things, like keeping your joints lubricated, delivers oxygen throughout your body, boosts skin health, cushions sensitive tissues like the brain and spinal cord, regulates body temperature, and so much more.
So, if you’re looking to get more water out of the food you eat and things that are not directly, well, water, we’ve got a few things up our sleeve. Here are three of our favorite juices to keep you healthy, hydrated, and happy all summer long.
1. Easy Greens + Matcha Cold-Pressed Juice

2. Watermelon Mint + Probiotics Cold-Pressed Juice

The balance of our gut bacteria can be thrown off in many ways. Probiotics directly benefit the GI tract and indirectly benefit the joints, lungs, and skin. These effects are due to the impact that probiotics have on immunity. As probiotics break down nutrients, they increase the building of proteins, vitamins, and functional compounds in the body by increasing the absorption and digestibility of nutrients.
