Nutritionists’ Top Tips for Life After 40

“I changed my approach to hydration. If I could reclaim all the money I’ve spent on fancy water bottles, I would have thousands more dollars in my bank account. For nearly two decades, I fell for the marketing gimmick that my water bottle had to be expensive, stylish and visually appealing. The outcome? I consistently failed to meet my hydration goals because my elaborate water bottles were often too heavy, prone to leaking, easily broken, or even stolen!

This year, at 45, I began drinking from inexpensive, disposable, 32-ounce cups. Let me tell you, this was life-changing! I’ve met my water goals every day for almost a year, reduced my headaches by 75 percent, and experienced a surge in energy. It turns out those fancy water bottles were contributing to my dehydration.” —Kylie Bensley
