Want quick, meaningful improvement without overhauling your life? Start here. These small changes create outsized gains in how you feel day-to-day.
1) Water you enjoy drinking
- Why it matters: Better taste → you drink more; basic filtration can reduce chlorine by-products and some micro-impurities.
- Easy options: A carbon jug or under-sink carbon system. For the deepest removal (incl. fluoride), reverse osmosis (RO).
