Say Goodbye to Eight Glasses of Water a Day

If you were planning a trek across the Sahara Desert and could pick only one drink to take with you, what would you pick?

It’s highly likely that your answer would be, “WATER, of course.”

You may be shocked to find out that you made the wrong choice. Since the 90’s there’s been a wildly over marketed push to drink more water. Most health enthusiast, doctors, dieticians, trainers, the FDA, and even surgeon general recommend to drink (8) 16-oz glasses of water per day to stay healthy. You have probably been doing this and thinking you’ve been the perfect little health nut. If you look at the belly of the beast, we might find Coca-Cola making billions off the bottled water and pseudo sports drink racket, but that conversation is for another time.
