To maintain hydration, drink fluids regularly, eat water-rich foods, and limit alcohol.

Are Veggie Chips Nutritious?

Veggie chips are generally not more nutritious than potato chips, often containing similar calories, sodium, and fat. They are primarily made from potato or corn flour with minimal vegetable content, losing most vitamins in the process. Some brands, like Terra, offer healthier options with real vegetables. Homemade veggie chips can be a better choice.
