How many watermelons do I need to eat for a 20 mile hike?

As I get older I notice the habits of my elders. Some eat just as horrible if not worse on occasion than I do yet appear fit as fiddle. What I've noticed is their drinking habits while eating... most specifically being quantity and timing.

So I started googling and got all sorts of ranting opinions. There are some interesting aspects to this article if you take five minutes to read it.

I've always found it odd that people consume near boiling liquid. Occasionally I've heard cautions on cold liquids. The notorious too much salt warnings. What never crossed my mind before was quantity and timing. Which seems to correlate to the habits I've spied. I was thinking section 3.4 in the article (yeah you'd have to invest the five minutes of reading to understand at this point) was a big bunch of nonsense and perhaps it may very well be too. However using my highly scientific cross reference of approved educational material The Gods Must Be Crazy II, I'm beginning to wonder.

The puzzle of life ain't ten pieces but perhaps something to ponder.
