wild water

Why aren’t we talking about how simple it is to add electrolytes and nutrients for boosted hydration…?

Well, here we are!

Water alone isn’t the answer, hydration is a little more nuanced than that. Real hydration is about absorption, not just intake. You can chug water and still feel foggy, fatigued, or like your skin’s begging for moisture — because your body needs minerals and electrolytes to actually use that water. So don’t “just drink more water,” help your body receive it. The fix is simpler than you think — a few minerals, a pinch of salt, maybe a squeeze of citrus — tiny rituals that teach your body how to hold what it’s given.

WILD WATER RECIPE

Water - duh—

  • restores lost fluids

  • regulates body temperature

  • supports circulation

  • make it alkaline or at least filtered

Coconut water -

  • rich in electrolytes — particularly potassium, magnesium, and small amounts of calcium

  • natural sugar for energy and improved electrolyte uptake

Salt - Sodium Chloride -

  • replenishes sodium, the main electrolyte lost in sweat

  • helps retain fluids, preventing dehydration

  • balances blood pressure and aids in nerve signaling

    💡 Tip: Use a mineral or sea salt if possible — it contains trace elements like magnesium and zinc.

Ginger -

  • Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant — soothes muscles and supports recovery.

  • Aids digestion and helps with nausea (useful if you’re dehydrated from illness)

  • Slight warming effect improves circulation and comfort in colder weather.

Lemon -

  • Provides vitamin C for immune support and antioxidant benefits

  • Adds potassium and flavor,

  • Mildly alkalizing once metabolized, helping balance body pH

  • Enhances absorption of other minerals

METHOD
