Drinking water is NOT the best way to stay hydrated
Staying hydrated is one of the best things you can do for your health. Most bodily functions work better when you’re well-hydrated including healthy heart function and skin elasticity. Being well-hydrated helps lubricate and cushion your joints according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A 2024 study even suggests that well-hydrated people are happier and more productive.
However most Americans don’t drink enough water which can lead to chronic dehydration. Dehydration comes with a host of nasty side effects including mental fog overeating and even a higher risk of stroke.
There are many healthy ways to stay hydrated. You can carry a reusable water bottle with you to sip throughout the day or snack on hydrating foods like watermelon tomatoes and beans (most raw fruits and vegetables have a high water content).
