rehydrates

Restores lost fluid

Rehydrates means to restore moisture or fluid to something that has dried out.

Food that has been freeze-dried or dehydrated rehydrates when water is added: The backpacker rehydrates her meals with boiling water.

People rehydrate after exercise or illness by drinking fluids.

The word applies equally to beef jerky and exhausted athletes.
