Thirsty?...Drink Mermaid Water

Upgrade your Hydration Game

Mermaid water isn't seawater silly, but instead a way to biohack your hydration game. It's pretty simple to do, one takes a glass of water, two add a pinch of sea salt, and three drink up baby. Here is catch this little pinch of salt allows the body to absorb needed minerals for optimal hydration and helps the body stay hydrated for longer periods.

What does this mean for your boxing or your preferred exercise session? Well, a lot since sodium is a necessary electrolyte needed by the body that helps increase hydration. As you may already know, salt contains sodium. Sodium helps to regulate the balance of fluids in your body through a process called osmosis, which is required for muscle and nerve function. We lose sodium through our sweat. Adding a little bit of salt to your water helps to increase water retention so your body can absorb all the water, as well as the minerals you’re taking in. The best part is, when you’re absorbing more water, you pee less!

Fantastic isn't it now go and take 1/4 teaspoon of salt per quart of water – every 4-5 glasses of water. Be sure to get sea salt. The best is Celtic sea salt or Himalayan Pink Salt, both of which are high in trace minerals. You should always drink water before eating, and after eating, to support:

1. Hydration

2. Reduces fluid retention

3. High in minerals

4. Electrolytes

5. Prevents cramps

6. Improves digestion

7. Nourishes adrenal glands

8. Regulates Blood Pressure

Now lets talk salt:

Celtic, Pink, Blue, Black... there are various colors and types of salt each with a unique trace elements profile. The most common will be pink Himalayan but one of my newest favorites is blue sea salt; Its color is due to an optical illusion, due to the movement of tectonic plates which results in the salt taking on the color of ocean blue, this salt is rich in potassium and high on iron, the ideal choice for us ladies.

Go on and choose you salt...

Ps. Remember to hydrate well bikini babes, water is the source of mermaid like skin and a beautiful body inside and out. Until next time and lots of love Alquimistas.
