Our bodies don’t often let us know that we’re thirsty until we’ve already become dehydrated. With the warm summer weather upon us, it’s even more important to ensure we stay hydrated by drinking enough fluids and eating more water-abundant fruits and veggies. To help boost your fluid (and fruit) intake, try freezing Welch’s 100% Grape Juice made with Concord Grapes, which contains no added sugars, colors, flavors or preservatives, in an ice cube tray or adding to sparkling water to provide a pop of color and flavor, and extra fluid. And, if you’re already in the summertime fitness groove, 100% grape juice provides natural sugars to help fuel your workout. Early research also shows that grape juice may help enhance exercise performance.¹ One-hundred percent grape juice can be added to shakes and smoothies, such as this PB&J Smoothie from Muscle & Performance magazine, prior to or following workouts.
