When it comes to living a longer, healthier life, the mainstream offers you three choices: drugs, surgery, or radical lifestyle changes.
But living out your golden years on the operating table, at the pharmacy, or on the treadmill is no way to live.
Now, you don’t have to do any of this.
Because according to a new study, there’s one surefire way to reverse the aging process… beat back chronic disease… and extend your life… WITHOUT any of the misery endorsed by conventional medicine.
It all starts with a simple “cup” trick…
And you get started with it today!

I’m talking about water…. and the trick is to never be without a cup of this age-reversing tonic nearby.
And the reason why?
A new study shows it could be your secret weapon against disease, advanced aging, and premature death.
For the research, scientists analyzed the health data of more than 11,000 adults for 30 years, looking for a connection between hydration markers and disease, including sodium levels.
You see, your sodium concentration changes with your hydration level. The higher your water intake, the lower your sodium level due to water’s ability to help flush out excess salts.
And the study results showed just how water could impact your health.
At the end of the research, the outcomes showed that folks at the higher end of the normal sodium range – 135-146 milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L) – were more likely to age faster and have worse health.
In fact, participants with sodium levels above 142 mEq/L were 10 to 15 percent more likely to be biologically older than folks with lower sodium.
These folks also had a 64 percent higher risk for developing chronic diseases such as heart failure, stroke, atrial fibrillation, peripheral artery disease, chronic lung disease, diabetes, and dementia.
Even worse? People with just sodium levels just two points higher – 144 mEq/L – saw a 50% higher risk of being biologically older and a 21% higher risk of dying early!
But there’s some good news, too.
Participants with sodium levels within the range of 138-140 mEq/L had the lowest risk of developing chronic disease.
So, if you’re unsure where your sodium levels are currently, ask your doc to check them.
And in the meantime, start hydrating!
You can do this by increasing your daily water intake and consuming high water-content foods like fruits and vegetables.
If drinking water is too boring for you, make it tastier by adding a slice of citrus, a stem of fresh herbs, or even a cucumber.
