Why Worry About Hydration in Winter?
Studies have shown that people exercising in cold weather do not get as thirsty as when they exercise in warmer weather ~ yet they still require optimal hydration.
Our bodies are approximately 60% water, so the fluids we ingest play an essential role in our energy production, our exercise performance, and even our feelings.
You naturally lose fluids, nutrients, and electrolytes throughout your day. Add physical activity to the mix, and your body can really be at a deficit.

Good Hydration = Fluids + Electrolytes
Electrolytes are minerals that are vital for normal body function. Electrolytes control muscle contraction, play a critical role in regulating fluid balance and help the body absorb water more efficiently.
Electrolytes also regulate the body’s blood pH, blood pressure, recovery of damaged tissues, and nerve and muscle function.
Sodium, potassium, chloride, and magnesium are the most important electrolytes for supporting optimal hydration.

Drinking water helps restore fluids but doesn’t replace electrolytes, which is why it’s important to replenish both water and electrolytes after exercise and throughout your day.
Whether it’s running a marathon or just Saturday errands, good hydration is for everyone ~ not just athletes. Good hydration is one of the easiest and most effective ways you can support your overall health.

Hydrate Supplies Essential Electrolytes
Hydrate provides 1,625+ mg of total electrolytes per serving, featuring the essential minerals and electrolytes sodium (from Pink Himalayan Salt), potassium, magnesium, and chloride to maintain proper mineral balance and optimize hydration.
Sodium ~ The most highly concentrated electrolyte in sweat is sodium. Sodium is essential in producing the electrical potential that allows nerve cells to transmit impulses and muscles to contract.
Substantial sodium losses, such as those caused by heavy sweating, can lead to impaired mental and physical performance.

Chloride ~ maintains proper pH levels, stimulates stomach acid needed for digestion, stimulates the action of nerve and muscle cells, and facilitates the flow of oxygen and carbon dioxide within cells.
Chloride also helps to regulate the amount of fluid and types of nutrients going in and out of the cells. So if your chloride levels drop, you can become dehydrated.
Potassium ~ Potassium is particularly important due to its role in regulating fluid and nutrient balance across cell membranes, which affects muscle and neuron activity.
Without enough potassium in the body, muscle cramping and weakness, along with low energy is common.
Magnesium ~ Magnesium is an essential mineral nutrient with many critical functions, including as an element in nerve and muscle function and as a cofactor in many enzymatic reactions throughout the body.

Hydrate + Hyaluronic Acid
As winter weather sets in, your skin may start feeling rough, dry, and chapped. With the right nourishment and protection, your skin can be healthier and more hydrated this season.
Hydrate + Hyaluronic Acid ~ Watermelon flavor only ~ provides all the same ingredients and benefits for optimal hydration that Hydrate does but with added support for skin health. It delivers a clinical amount of hyaluronic acid (165 mg) for more supple, hydrated skin.
Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in our hair, nerves, joints, and skin. Hyaluronic acid helps hydrate skin by binding to water molecules and drawing water into the skin.
