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
Boil water with skinned ginger and lemon slices, pour into your mug
Add coconut water and salt
