Hydrate your body with FRUITS!

As we all know, 75% of our body is made of H20=water. And for proper organ and system functions, sufficient water is needed. When your body gets dehydrated, it gets unhappy, grumpy and doesn't run well. Your insides are moist, your organs are wet, just imagine your blood, isn't is made up of water? How does it flow if it's dehydrated. The conclusion is drink, drink and drink water. By the way, caffeinated and carbonated beverages is not considered as water, it dehydrates your body, not refreshing it.
I am aware how many of us don't drink enough water. Probably you don't fancy the taste, it's not a habit or you're just a bit lazy to go and pour a glass of water for drinking. Whatever the reason is, it's all up to you,whether you feel it is vital or not to keep your body to let your body flooding well.
