That eight-glasses rule? It wasn't even based on science. A 1945 study said we need about 2.5 liters of water daily.
But here’s the kicker: they forgot to mention we get most of that from our food. Your morning bowl of cereal? That's hydrating.
That juicy apple? It’s basically a solid water balloon. You’re already winning the hydration game without chugging a gallon.
