Are You Actually Hydrated?

I don’t drink water between meals.
I urinate frequently.
I have loose or watery stools.
I’m a salty sweater.
I often feel thirsty.
My albumin levels are elevated.

Believe it or not, true dehydration is rare—thanks to our constant access to water. But that doesn’t mean we’re adequately hydrated.

Feeling Stressed All the Time?

Even mild dehydration raises cortisol (stress hormone) levels. It also impacts cognitive function and contributes to headaches. Therefore, staying well-hydrated is one of the easiest and most overlooked ways to support your brain and mood.

Love Hot Yoga or Saunas?

These activities are fantastic for health and detoxification, but they demand more hydration. If you’re a "salty sweater" (yes, some people lose more electrolytes in sweat than others), consuming fluids and electrolytes before, during, and after is critical.

Electrolytes: Not Just for Athletes

Thankfully, the message is finally getting out—water alone isn’t enough to hydrate you. Everyone needs electrolytes, whether you're an athlete or not. You need even more if you:

• Sweat heavily
  

• Follow a low-carb or ketogenic diet
  

• Practice fasting
  

• Train multiple times per day
  

• Restrict salt intake
  

• Exercise or work outside in the summer

Hydrate Any Time—Not Just Around Workouts

Hydration doesn't necessarily have to be timed right before or after physical activity - your body will retain electrolytes until it must utilize and excrete them. For example, consuming water and electrolytes throughout the morning helps you stay hydrated for an afternoon workout.

That’s why our EXL is such a versatile product - It’s designed to jump start hydration; for anyone, any time of day.
