Yesterday, Peggy wrote an article about hydration, and today, I have some additional information that you might find both interesting and important.

As you know, proper hydration keeps your body functioning at its best. It boosts your energy, gives your skin a healthy glow, and supports overall health.

But did you know that it's not just about drinking water? Getting that water into your cells is key to true hydration.

When water doesn't reach your cells, it passes right through your body without providing the full benefits.

We all know what that means, right?

Yep, constant trips to the bathroom! And that doesn’t actually do you any good at all.

So, what can you do to help your cells absorb that water?

Minerals are essential for helping water absorb effectively into your cells and salt is one of the best minerals to help hydrate your cells.

But there’s a problem… Regular table salt is heavily processed and often stripped of its minerals. It typically contains just two minerals: sodium and chloride.

In contrast, high-quality salts like Celtic sea salt can contain over 80 different minerals and trace elements, including magnesium, potassium, and calcium. These minerals are crucial for maintaining the balance needed to absorb water into your cells efficiently.

Using a mineral-rich salt such as Celtic sea salt can enhance hydration by helping improve electrolyte balance. This keeps your cells happy and hydrated, especially during physical activity when you lose water and electrolytes through sweat.

To enhance your daily hydration, consider adding a high-quality salt to your food.

Salt isn't the villain it's often made out to be. When used thoughtfully, mineral-rich salts like Celtic sea salt can actually support your body's hydration needs.

Here’s a simple tip: add a pinch of Celtic sea salt to a glass of water each morning.

This small change can make a big difference in how you feel by ensuring your body gets the hydration it needs.

That’s it for today.

May you move well, stay healthy, and be happy… stay hydrated to take care of yourself!
