👉 A fluid, specifically referring to a liquid food, is any type of food that consists primarily of water and other dissolved substances. These can range from pure liquids like water and broths to more complex ones such as soups, sauces, and certain fruits and vegetables like watermelon or cucumber. The primary function of these fluids in the diet is to hydrate the body, aiding in digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall bodily functions. They also contribute to satiety, helping to control appetite and weight. Examples of fluid-rich foods include coconut water, smoothies, broths, and hydrating fruits like oranges and strawberries.
