HYDRATION Our bodies are about 70% water. Vital organs like the kidneys, brain, and heart can’t operate properly without a certain minimum of water and salt. Dehydration is caused by a loss of water and important blood salts like potassium and sodium. When your body experiences dehydration, it results in subtle tension in your tissues, muscles and organs. This restricts blood flow. Because your blood flow is restricted, it becomes a dumping ground for toxicity. The result is that you feel as though you are hung over and your muscles ache...common to chronic fatigue syndrome sufferers. HOW DOES HYDRATION WITH ELECTROLYTES HELP? 70% The special formulation of electrolytes (with no sugar) helps increase the amount of water that’s absorbed into the blood stream. That means more of the water you drink is actually used to hydrate yourself instead of being eliminated because the electrolyte balance isn’t right. Remember! We know most of you hydrate during exercise, but you need to do it throughout the day to beat chronic fatigue. “I can’t emphasize enough how important hydration is before my runs. My performance on tough runs improved significantly after I started watching my water intake. Adequately hydrating, even as early as a day prior to my workouts has made a remarkable difference. ” - Adriana Montiel said.
