10. Stay Hydrated

Drinking enough water is crucial for maintaining the body’s systems and has an impact on cognitive function, digestion, and the regulation of blood pressure and temperature. Recent research established a link between drinking water and gut bacteria, suggesting that increased levels of hydration may lead to a healthier microbiome.

The type of water consumed also has an impact, with untreated well water being the most beneficial. Advice varies regarding the recommended daily water intake for adults, but the average seems to be around four to six cups in addition to hydration through food.
