This “hydration” crap.
Up until the late 1970’s for approx 300,000 years of humans being around hydrated themselves just fine.
Long as there was water available one would drink when their body signaled them by getting thirsty (don’t care about exceptions to the rule where someone has a medical issue or if water was limited in high school, your a big person now). All of a sudden humans forgot to drink fluids?
Bullshit.
It’s just yet another scam the drink makers have perpetrated to get people to buy the various liquid products they sell.
you know you can still drink water, right? you dont need dr pepper or airup or whatever scam is currently trending to be hydrated, just water
Yup. I drink water and odd fruit juice. The drink makers wish/hope otherwise and willing to advertise to do so.
I'm sorry, what?
Can you expound please. Your input not clear.
People have been living longer and longer. If you want the same life span as our ancestors, then follow their diet.
One would think that all the medical breakthroughs would be what lengthens life. But that’s just me. Water is all dependent on whether it’s there or not. If it is, we will drink.
Same, but skin hydration / moisturizing. That's 300,000 years of human history without Aveeno. The skincare industry is a scam to sell product, and our skin works fine if you mostly leave it alone.
thats also 300000 years of forced marriages where a gigantic pimple didn't matter and nobody cared about beauty
I have to say that I doubt that very much.
Your correct most beauty and skin care products are a scam. One of my favs is drown your hair in goop which is dead by the time it leaves the folicle.
