Yes, chef! 5 easy, delicious recipes for better skin

They say you are what you eat, but if you're someone who has trouble hitting your daily quota of water, you'll definitely know that what you drink is equally as important as the foods you consume. "Water is essential for thousands of physiological processes in the body and required for every major body system," says Avery Zenker, a registered dietician and nutritionist based in Canada. "Even mild dehydration, defined as a 1 to 2% decrease in body weight due to fluid loss, can lead to noticeable symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, dizziness and impaired cognitive function."

When it comes to your skin, proper hydration contributes to a fresh, plumper appearance and improved skin elasticity. According to Zenker, consuming water-rich foods is an easy way to reach your water intake goals. Below, she shares five recipes made with water-rich foods that'll improve your complexion and support healthy digestion.
