But, there is a solution – you can include certain hydrating foods and beverages in our diet to keep your water level in check.

Latte tea and coffee are no doubt welcome the winter warmly but remember the caffeine you consume while having these beverages. You can opt for flavored teas such as peach tea, orange peel tea, pomegranate tea, etc. By adding such flavors to hot water, you can include essential multivitamins that will make your skin glowing and hydrating in the winter.
2. Less white sugar and more fruits

5. Ragi soup
Ragi soup is a filling and nutritious food to have in your diet. You can just toss some available veggies in ghee or butter and add ragi slurry to the mix along with water and boil. Once it is boiled, add salt and pepper to taste and serve hot. Ragi is the best alternative to milk because it is dense in calcium.
