Hydration 🤝🏽 Digestion

Think about it.

Dehydration > bodily stress > mental stress > cortisol+epinephrine > improper digestion

But it’s not just that under-hydration can hurt… Adequate hydration can help!

1. Don’t dilute your stomach acid by drinking water with meals. You need your stomach acid in full force, or else the intestines are going to be forced to handle bigger and more whole pieces of food than it is built to handle. Drink in between meals.

2. Introduce electrolytes. If you are chugging too much water all day, you run the risk of diluting mineral stores. Simply add in coconut water, sea salt, fresh pressed juice, or electrolyte powder to your regimen and you’ll notice a big difference in how effectively hydrated you are (my fav is to time this to combat the 3PM sleepies at work😴).

3. This tip has been life-altering for me and my gut health. Since I started doing this I have much better energy and I don’t have any bloating with breakfast. I think it’s because I give my system a gentle awakening instead of heavy foods first thing.

Simple implementations go a long way!

... Read moreHydration plays a crucial role in maintaining effective digestion. When we are dehydrated, our body experiences stress that can lead to various digestive issues. It’s essential to drink enough water, but timing matters. Avoid drinking water during meals to ensure that stomach acid is not diluted, which can hinder food breakdown. Instead, hydrate between meals for optimal digestion. Electrolytes can also enhance your hydration regimen. Drinks like coconut water and electrolyte powders not only replenish fluids but also maintain vital mineral balance in your body. Incorporating these can help combat fatigue and improve energy levels, especially during those sluggish afternoons at work. Incorporate gentle hydration practices into your morning routine. Starting your day with a glass of water infused with lemon or other electrolytes can jumpstart your system, preparing your body for digestion and energy throughout the day. Simple adjustments, such as drinking water strategically and adding electrolytes, can lead to significant improvements in gut health and overall well-being. Make these changes to cultivate a healthier lifestyle in 2024!
