    • At best, if it as as good as it’s said, it helps your liver, kidneys and bladder by getting rid of noxious substances faster and at lower concentration levels.
    • As worst, if it has no benefits at all, you piss more often.

    Unlike most “health” trends out there “drink more water” will be very good in the mid and long term if it works and only mildy inconvenient if it doesn’t, so logically it seems worth trying unless you’re in the kind of situation where taking a piss is somehow dangerous.

    IMHO, people going for “convenience today” above all else is behind most of the shitty trends in most present day societies, and I don’t just mean it in health terms.

      I am one of the OG hydro homies and it legit changed my life drinking more water. Skin cleared up (acne wasn’t terrible, but there was almost always some blemish), lost weight (less soda, less hunger in general), reduced stomach issues (helped with getting regular and not binging, just better general gut feeling), no more UTI’s.

      I also get to pee like 4 times throughout the day at work which just helps break up the day.

      Instant gratification. Why have thing later? Want thing now. Give thing now. Why wait for later?
