A new study found middle-aged people are 20% more likely to die early if they're chronically dehydrated. And while you're alive, it also makes you 50% more likely to look old. Researchers tracked people's health for 25 years. All the patients were over 45 when the study started. And the least hydrated ones were 50% more likely to show signs of early aging, including sunken eyes, sunken cheeks, and dry skin. They were also more likely to have high cholesterol and high blood pressure. That's probably why they were 20% more likely to die young, or at least younger than the people who drank plenty of water.
