Add Water To Your Diet With Water-Rich Veggies!

Even as we move into cooler temperatures this fall, those of us in Arizona still need to make sure we get enough water each day. Yet, drinking the recommended 8 16 oz servings of water each day, well, can not only be difficult, it can get quite boring as well! Yet, there are ways to get some of our water each day from the vegetables we eat each day!
