I Am Way More Hydrated Than You

Don’t be thirsty over my lack of thirst

Is that one of those bottles with the times of day printed on it to help schedule your water intake? Amateur-hour.

Oh, you’ve also got a Stanley at home that keeps your water cold for three days. Congratulations. That’s a shot to me.

What’s that? You sleep with a glass of water beside your bed. Enjoy that in the morning when you need to rehydrate. I sleep with my nose taped shut and a Camelback bite valve in my mouth.

Before you tell me you follow the US National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine’s daily recommended intake of 15.5 cups, I’m here to tell you that’s some seriously weak H2O intake.

In case you’re not picking up what I’m putting down, I am way more hydrated than you are.

When you blinked, I chugged 3 hours' worth of your water.

Are you familiar with the saying, your body is a machine? Well, guess what a machine needs to run smoothly. Oil. And water is the oil of the body. And nobody’s body has more water oil flowing through it than mine.

That’s just what science wants you to believe. But you’re not hydrating properly if your body’s water percentage is a measly 60%.
