Hydration Cocktails for All

Summer is upon us, and while we know we need to hydrate, sometimes our water needs an upgrade. True hydration means that the water doesn’t just go into our body, but into our cells (we need the right mineral balance, sufficient potassium, to bring the water INTO our cells). Summer heat is not the only thing rising, especially at bbq’s and beach parties where the sodium from snack foods can really add up. Potassium acts as sodium’s natural counterbalance. Here are some potassium-rich beverage ideas, sure to add a hydrating splash to your summer (I use plain coconut water or Ultima Replenisher to supply potassium and other minerals): Without Alcohol: Sangri-Tea
