You’re drinking more water this summer (we hope). But are you actually hydrating?💦 When you sweat, you don’t just lose water. You lose minerals your body needs to regulate temperature, support energy, balance blood sugar, and keep your nervous system functioning. ⁠Most modern diets and filtered water sources are already mineral-depleted. Add heat, intense workouts, or RO water without remineralizing and you’re likely running low without even knowing it. Signs of low minerals? Think fatigue, headaches, muscle cramps, poor recovery, or feeling off despite "doing everything right." Use this chart to understand how key minerals support your body and where to find them, but remember: daily intake is just a baseline. Hydration isn’t just about water. It’s about minerals. And in the summer, your body needs them more than ever.
