Cold-weather/Winter dehydration is REAL!
As the temps dip it’s not uncommon to feel less thirsty, thus we might not drink enough fluids for our bodies to function at peak performance.
Because water makes up approximately 60-70% of our bodies, staying hydrated, especially with drier indoor heating, is of utmost importance.
Every time we sweat, urinate, or have a bowel movement, water is lost.
It’s harder to notice when you’re sweating during the colder months, so pay attention when you’re bundled up. Even when we’re not sweating, we lose water through our skin and drier indoor air causes winter dehydration without even noticing.
I’d like to share some homemade drinks that will definitely help keep you hydrated any time of year but particularly during the winter months.
These drinks not only work but are also pretty delicious and are shared by mommypotamus.com. Check her out for more delicious drinks.
I will share two of my favorites here:
Coconut Water & Lime Electrolyte Drink
*2 cups unsweetened coconut water
*1/3 cup fresh lime juice
*2/3 cup water
*1/2 tsp raw honey
*1/8 tsp Himalayan Pink Salt
Combine ingredients.
Stir until salt dissolves and ENJOY!

*2 cups unsweetened coconut water
*1/4 cup fresh lime juice
*1/2 cup water

Taste and adjust to your liking and ENJOY!
