Nina Teicholz was a food writer, who became an investigative journalist as she looked into the research and politics of food. This book is a lifechanging page turner. Her style is easy to read, the information may be disturbing as she outlines how so much of the information that we were given about healthy eating was incorrect. She gives clear information, backed by evidence and cites original sources.
This book is key for anyone who wants to improve their #healthspan.
If you read it, or have read it, I would love to hear your impressions.

Help your body take care of you by drinking enough water; if you have a persistent cough, an accessible, economical treatment is being well hydrated.
Think of the cilia in your respiratory tract as hairs that protect your lungs. They work best when well hydrated- your body uses the water you drink to hydrate essential parts, including the cilia.
There are other things that can help, but reaching for water first, before things get severe can be a good idea.
Our bodies have great abilities to adapt to too much or too little water; because of this, we can be complacent and not notice when improving the quality or having a glass of water instead of a different beverage can improve how we feel. Filtered water in a glass or stainless water bottle is healthier than a plastic bottle.
If you are feeling hungry, listless or tired, have a big glass of water and notice if you feel better, there's a good chance it will help.
