Smart Hydration Strategies - Hydration, Electrolytes, & Utilizing Nature’s Summer Supports

🥒☀️Staying hydrated during the hot summer months doesn’t have to be boring, or bland. With a few intentional choices, your hydration routine can be just as nourishing as it is refreshing.

💧 Hydration Tips for Summer

Here are some simple, effective ways to support hydration every day:

  • Sip throughout the day, especially between meals. Your digestive fire—stomach acid, saliva, and digestive enzymes that break down food work best undiluted when eating.

  • Avoid being thirsty. By the time you feel thirst, dehydration has already started.

  • Customize your water intake with herbs like mint or ginger, and flavorings like lime, lemon, or summer berries. When your water is enjoyable, you'll naturally drink more.

  • Eat your hydration with water-rich, seasonal produce like cucumbers, watermelon, and tomatoes.

  • Keep an eye on alcohol and caffeine, which can increase fluid loss and dehydration.
