Here’s a hint: It’s colorless, odorless, transparent, and it’s the most important liquid in the entire universe.Of course, we're talking about water. Not vitamin water, coconut water, fruit water, or any other flavored calorie-infested beverage that tries to pass itself off as water. Just plain old water.

BONUS: Limit Your Salt to Avoid the "Silent Killer"
You may have heard that high blood pressure, or hypertension, is a “silent killer.” Today, Rip unpacks what that means and how ingesting too much sodium leads to serious problems. High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is known as a “silent killer” because in most cases it has no symptoms. People with elevated blood pressure are straining their hearts by making them work harder to move blood around. Their hearts sweat and pound and gasp away, but they’re none the wiser. For this reason, the Global Burden of Disease Study, which involved more than 300 institutions in 50 countries, concluded that high blood pressure is the number-one world-wide risk factor for death, resulting in fatal heart attacks, strokes, and other catastrophic organ failures.Learn why in this short minisode.
