I also unpack common hydration myths—like whether coffee dehydrates you or if lemon water boosts hydration—and examine the claims behind trendy products like alkaline water, sports drinks, and those viral electrolyte powders. Plus, I’ll walk you through how much water you actually need each day and when plain water just won’t cut it.Stick around for the final segment, where I review popular electrolyte mixes and share when they’re helpful—and when they’re more hype than health.
