We talk about the importance of drinking water and how much you should drink each day. As I am currently in my 3rd week of intermittent fasting water has become a staple of my diet. In the past I usually drink only 1 glass a day, in the morning just to flush my system. Currently though with fasting I am trying to drink more than 60 ounces a day. To most people that is not a lot but for me it is. 

After doing some research on the importance of hydration I realized that electrolytes help the body by replenishing fluids and the essential minerals that we lose through sweating and urination. We can drink water but it seems that electrolytes are a huge factor that should be in our daily regiment. Minerals such as sodium, magnesium and calcium play a role in maintaining proper nerve function, muscle contractions and overall fluid balance in our entire bodies.

A friend recommended hydration sticks which help maintain hydration levels for people like me that don’t like to drink water throughout the day. The addition of the hydration stick has helped me pull a little back from coffee which I drink a lot of and enjoy water a bit more. I have been using the 1st Phorm Citrus flavor ones and they hit the spot. 

I understand that sometimes we forget to drink water throughout our busy days or maybe we had a really great workout running, lifting or swimming and we need something more. The 1st Phorm hydration sticks from what I have noticed are a huge help in replacing those beneficial electrolytes that are lost. They help prevent dehydration on those hot days and keep us feeling better and support faster recovery during those post workouts.

As we continue on this journey of my lifestyle change, and possibly even yours I hope to give you the tools and the tips to make life a bit better. We all want to be healthy and active. Sometimes change is tough, but in the end if we work hard for our goals, we appreciate the end results. It’s the small lessons we learn along the way we can pass on that not only helps us grow, but also those we try to inspire.
