drink up for longevity

Adults who stay well hydrated tend to develop fewer chronic health conditions— including heart and lung diseases—and live longer than those who don’t get sufficient amounts of fluid. The National Institutes of Health reported those findings earlier this year based on a 30-year study of more than 11,000 people.

The National Academies of Medicine recommend that most women consume six to nine cups of non-alcoholic fluids daily, while most men need eight to 12 cups.
