Why?

Sleep is the longest period you go without drinking, so hydrating upon waking helps flush out toxins & rehydrate every cell. (avoid table salt for best results)

Are you dehydrated?

Drinking more water doesn't necessarily mean better hydration. Without electrolytes, most of that water never makes it into your cells, where it's needed the most.

Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium) that enable fluid transport, muscle function, & brain signalling. Think of them as the "currency" that moves water into & out of cells.

Why do we need electrolytes?

Studies show that even mild dehydration (1-2% body weight loss) can impact mood, memory & concentration. Electrolytes stabilise brain cell communication, critical for mental sharpness & reducing mental fatigue.

Take a look at what each mineral alone does for your health:

Sodium: Sodium is a primary driver of water balance across cell membranes. It acts as the "gatekeeper" of hydration, pulling water into cells for optimal cellular health & preventing dehydration.

Potassium: Potassium works inside cells to balance sodium, aiding nerve impulse transmission & muscle contraction. It's essential for muscle relaxation & regulating heart rhythm, reducing risk of muscle cramps & irregular heartbeats.

Magnesium: Magnesium modulates nervous system responses & supports energy production. In states of high stress or intense physical activity, magnesium is rapidly depleted - body & mind fatigued.

Add these to your diet to support natural hydration:

• Sodium: Pink Himalayan salt
• Potassium: Bananas, avocados, sweet potatoes
• Magnesium: Almonds, pumpkin seeds, leafy greens

Sodium, Potassium & Magnesium work together to regulate water balance, support nerve & muscle function, & even sharpen cognitive processes. When these vital minerals are in sync, they empower your body to perform at its best - boosting energy, mental clarity & resilience against stress.
