You're 50% More Likely to Look Old if You Don't Drink Enough Water
Â
Â
A new study published in "The Lancet" looked at how important it is to stay hydrated. And the biggest stat they found was that middle-aged people are 20% more likely to DIE EARLY if they don't drink enough water.
 Â
But this second stat might be even scarier:Â Before it kills you, being chronically dehydrated makes you 50% more likely to LOOK OLD.
 Â
Researchers tracked people's health for 25 years. All the patients were over 45 when the study started. And the least hydrated ones were 50% more likely to show signs of early aging, including sunken eyes, sunken cheeks, and dry skin.
 Â
They were also more likely to have high cholesterol and high blood pressure. That's probably why they were 20% more likely to die young, or at least younger than the people who drank plenty of water.
 Â
So if staying alive OR looking young motivates you, there you go.Â
