Staying properly hydrated can slow ageing and halve the risk of dying young, according to new research.
Adults who drink around two litres of water a day develop fewer life threatening illnesses such as heart and lung disease.
They also live longer than those who may not get sufficient fluids.
The findings are based on 11,255 individuals tracked for up to 30 years. They could lead to a screening program for older patients.
