To be young, healthy, and beautiful for as long as possible is the goal of many. A new study reveals a possible secret to making it a reality.
A study published in eBioMedicine involving 11, 225 adults over a 30 year period, has revealed that those who stay well-hydrated are typically healthier than those who do not. Researchers say that well hydrated individuals develop fewer chronic conditions, and tend to live longer as well.
The findings show that higher levels of serum sodium could most likely be the cause. Serum sodium levels go up when fluid intake decreases. To combat the aging process and the onset of chronic illness or disease, be mindful to drink water, as well as consuming fruits and vegetables with a high water content.
Recommended fluid intake for women is around 1.5 – 2.2 liters of fluids daily and 2 – 3 liters for men according to the National Academies of Medicine.
