Start with the Basics: What is Hydration?

One of the most common questions I get is: "What’s the best supplement for fitness?" My answer is always the same—water. Before we dive into pills and powders, it’s essential to understand the basics. Why is hydration important? Because without it, your body and muscles cannot perform at their best.

Athletes often turn to supplements to boost performance for short-term, specific goals. But for most of my clients—beginner fitness enthusiasts—their main objective is to maintain lean muscle mass and strength as they age. And the foundation of all fitness success? Hydration.
