Hydration
The foundation of energy, recovery, and clear thinking.
Why it matters
Water makes up roughly 60% of your body and powers nearly every process — circulation, digestion, joint lubrication, temperature regulation, and detoxification. Even mild dehydration (2% body weight) can drop physical performance, sharpen brain fog, and trigger fatigue that's easily mistaken for hunger.
