No, I’m not talking about the Golden Ratio, which I first heard about in The Da Vinci Code, but my Golden Ratio regarding fluid intake. You see, I drink so much Diet Coke on any given day that it’s not even funny. I don’t drink coffee or tea, so I rely on Diet Coke for my caffeine intake. That means I start drinking it as soon as I wake up in the morning, and keep on going throughout the day.
This obviously isn’t an ideal situation, so for the rest of the summer I’m going to live by a 2:1 ratio. I want to drink two glasses of water to every one glass of Diet Coke. This should keep me hydrated, flush out my kidneys, and just generally be healthier than imbibing nothing but soft drinks all day long.
I’m starting today, so we’ll see how it goes!
