The Longevity Edit

Let’s get one thing straight: most people walk around dehydrated without even realizing it. Fatigue, headaches, brain fog, random cravings—they’re often symptoms of something incredibly simple: you’re not drinking enough water.

So how much should you be drinking? Forget the old “8 glasses a day” rule. A better baseline? Aim for half your body weight in ounces. Weigh 160 pounds? Shoot for 80 ounces of water daily. More if you’re sweating, drinking coffee, or living somewhere hot.

And no, coffee, soda, and juice don’t count the same. You need water. Plain, clean, unsexy water.

Hydration isn’t just about avoiding thirst—it impacts energy, digestion, skin, and even your mood. It’s one of the easiest, most overlooked performance hacks out there.

Still struggling to get enough? Get a big reusable bottle. Keep it on your desk. Refill it twice. Build the habit. Your body will thank you.

Simple, not easy. But wildly worth it.
