5 Hydration Myths Debunked

If there’s anything that we as a society have taken seriously in the last couple of decades is our hydration levels.

Wallets have now been replaced by portable water bottles. Some might even assume that the bigger the water bottle, the higher the social status.

Yes, we’ve been drinking more water than ever, but does that mean that we are thoroughly hydrated? At a cellular level?

Well, allow me to plant a few seeds in your mind regarding actual hydration. Some myths will be debunked, while some new perspectives will brought to light for your consideration.

Outdated ideas:

8 glasses a day rule? Too simplistic. The amount of water you need is dependent on the climate you are in and your level of physical activity. 

Crystal-clear pee? Not necessarily better. If the urine is as clear as the water you just drank then it could be a sign that you are drinking too much water.

Can’t drink too much water? Very untrue. A mother in the USA died in 2023 from drinking too much water.

Water is the only source of hydration. Hardly. For water to be wholly hydrating it must include certain vitamins and minerals such as electrolytes, sodium and potassium to achieve true cellular hydration.

Consider these points instead.

Gym Junkies, Listen Up!

If you are regularly working out and increasing your muscle tone, kudos to you!

So you’ve probably heard of products like LMNT electrolyte mix. They are one of the gym accessories du jour. 

LMNT is a sexy well known brand, featured on most podcasts and allegedly effective. 

But at $45 for a 30-day supply, you can make your own potent, powerful and effective electrolyte beverage, and for pennies on the dollar.

Let’s face it, gym memberships and workout clothes are expensive enough. Here’s an easy way to save money while maintaining optimal hydration levels. Win!

All you need is:

• 1 litre of clean water (reverse osmosis if possible)
• 1 tablespoon local honey 
• 1/4 teaspoon of high-quality Celtic or Himalayan Sea Salt
• Juice of 1 lemon or lime (ideally organic)

Cellular Hydration

Hydration levels impact our health far beyond the colour of our urine. Being dehydrated at a cellular level can impact the cartilage in our joints, the fluidity of our fascia and the collagen i our skin.

So how do we keep our CELLS fully hydrated? Well, I’m so glad you asked;

The Magic of Minerals

Have you ever heard of Irish sea moss, the ocean’s gift to hydration? 

This seaweed superhero is loaded with minerals that help your cells hold onto water better. Plus, it’s amazing for your immune system and overall cellular health. Think of it as your internal moisture-locking system. Tastes a little fishy, but SO worth it.

What about diatomaceous earth, ever heard of that? 

Well, allow me to introduce you to this prehistoric powder that comes from tiny fossilized algae and is basically a mineral motherlode. 

DE (diatomaceous earth) helps your body clean house while supporting nutrient absorption. When your cells can more optimally absorb nutrients, then they can more optimally absorb water’s hydration. Makes sense!

If you’ve escaped Western weather patterns for someplace tropical, then here’s one of my ultimate life hacks. Whenever you order a fresh coconut to drink, be sure to add ¼ teaspoon of local sea salt to it.

The natural minerals in fresh coconut water plus good-quality sea salt will keep you hydrated like nothing else.

Shilajit, The Ultimate Secret Weapon

Shilajit – nicknamed “the destroyer of weakness” for good reason. This tar-like substance from the Himalayas packs over 85 minerals that help your cells drink up water like tiny champions. 

It’s basically your hydration game’s secret weapon.

Once we learned about this powerful supplement provided by Mother Nature herself, we made sure to source the highest quality product we could find so that we could share it with you guys!
