Athletes inspire people to be fit in life and understand health as a priority in life. Something similar happened with a Pro football HOF-er, who is 56 years old and is in excellent health. He sticks to a strict health routine and claims to feel even better now than he did at 25. The athlete hopes to maintain this level of well-being even when he reaches 75. That’s how old and healthy he is! Well, credit to Tom Brady, who inspired him with his habit of drinking water.

He has delved into a decade-long practice that has had a profound impact on his life. Inspired by a book, HOF-er Troy Aikman’s discipline and practice enlightened physical fitness and mindfulness for rich living.

Brady’s inspiration for change

Aikman, less active than Brady, spends six hours a week on workouts. Inspired by Brady? Troy says he learned about the significance of water and hydration through his readings. But during a meeting with Brady a few years ago, Aikman observed Brady keeping a big water jug, hit him well and he decided to adopt the practice. Since then, Aikman has shared this example with his colleagues at Fox as well. He even follows a Pegan diet, blending paleo and vegan principles, and commits to at least six hours of exercise each week which is evident in his activeness indeed.

“I was reading more about the benefits of water, making sure you’re hydrated, and I thought, ‘I’m going to get a jug’ because Tom had one that one time,” Troy Aikman stated, as per Insider.com. The Hall of Famer even started drinking 15 cups of water daily, per reports.
