A study by the National Institutes of Health suggests that good hydration is linked to healthy aging. Analyzing data from over 11,000 adults over 30 years, researchers found that higher serum sodium levels, which increase with lower fluid intake, correlate with a higher risk of chronic diseases and faster biological aging. Proper hydration may help slow aging and reduce disease risk, but further trials are needed to establish causality. The study highlights the importance of adequate fluid intake for maintaining health as we age.
