Evaluating Supplement Trends

Hydrogen water and sea moss supplementation are deemed unnecessary due to their overhyped benefits. Instead of relying on these trendy supplements, consuming a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can provide the necessary nutrients without additional cost or effort. Practical hydration advice includes using a reverse osmosis filter and drinking adequate water based on thirst, as most individuals can achieve optimal hydration levels naturally. This approach promotes a healthier lifestyle without the need for expensive, unnecessary products.
