I mean, they are right. After a long trip on my private jet, I usually climb a high area and then let my scales absorb water for half an hour. It really helps me with my hustle grindset.

I read the article. I “love” that she raises that there are some health conditions that require you to drink less water, but doesn’t mention that some require you to drink more.
I have POTS-like dysautonomia. My water target, set by my cardiologist, is at least 100 oz a day. My salt target is 10 grams, so I also have 2–3 high-sodium electrolyte mixes a day, on top of a high-salt diet and salt pills as needed.
I also “love” when people tell me electrolytes are a fad and I probably don’t actually need them. It’s great to know people may soon talk about my water consumption the same way! *eye roll*
Which high-sodium electrolyte mixes and salt-pills do you use? I've got similar health issues, and have been looking for good drinks, but a lot of them have high-ish potassium rates, which I'm trying to avoid.

The point is even our most basic of needs like ingesting water needs to be turned into a transfer of wealth to the 1%. This WSJ reporter is basically saying you should consume your water through soda instead of normal, clean water, that it’s good enough, which is very much isn’t
"water doesn't have any health benefit" has she heard about living?
Jokes on them, I carry a 1.5L bottle!
and yes, it's a real article https://www.wsj.com/health/wellness/ditch-the-40-ounce-water-bottle-youre-probably-hydrated-enough-c62affd9
Come on dude, do it yourself. Don't make someone else do it.
And let you go through life without knowing how much we all appreciate you? NEVER!
Honestly there should be a bot doing it
