Over at http://freshblessings.net/ we have been working on hydration.  One amazing product that helps with hydration is chia.  

Chia seeds, best known for the chia pet of the 80's, is an amazing little seed... A superfood, actually!  

Chia's use in South America has been traced back to 3500 BC.  It's hydrophilic action can absorb more than 12X it's weight in water which makes it incredibly good at helping us to stay hydrated.  As if that wasn't enough of a good reson to add chia to your diet, it has other benefits as well.  It is about 20% protein and has more Omega-3 fatty acids than any other plant food.

It makes a FAB pudding.  The great thing about chia seed is that it absorbs the flavor of whatever it's soaked in!  Enjoy!
