Hydration is a critical driver of cognitive and physical performance, as water makes up 90% of the brain and 73% of muscle tissue. Beyond just drinking fluids, you can “eat your water” by consuming fruits and vegetables like cucumbers or lettuce, which consist of 95% water. To maintain these levels, the latest guidelines suggest a daily intake of 11 cups for women and 15 cups for men to properly flush toxins and regulate body temperature. (Lei Jodai)
