The typical consumer has many misconceptions about the role water plays in body weight. Drinking sufficient water allows your body to flush toxins from your tissues and free itself of excess water. Both beverages and food provide your body with water. Regardless of their other constituents all beverages are primarily water.
Most foods also provide water.
Fruits and vegetables are obvious sources. Water is available from less apparent sources also, such as pasta, rice, and oatmeal, which absorb water while cooking. Despite the numerous potential sources of water in your diet pure water is still the best source of dietary water. Most of us can remember having drunk a soda, juice or coffee and still feeling thirsty. Your body dilutes these solutes by pulling fluid from your cells into your bloodstream.
