Nowadays, so many people are struggling with chronic dehydration without even knowing.
Hydration is vital for high energy, mental sharpness and so much more. It's especially important for all the cleansing processes in our body.
But why is this impairing our health?
If we are dehydrated, our blood gets thicker which can make it harder for our body to provide sufficient oxygen to all our organs, flush out toxins and take proper care of cleaning processes. So especially when we are working towards overcoming certain health conditions - we really want to boost our hydration.
And this is about so much more than just drinking enough water - our daily food choices can have a great impact on how well hydrated our body is.

Luckily, there are so many delicious, hydrating foods we can incorporate and by also gently reducing the rather dehydrating choices - we get to support our body in such a powerful way.
Foods that commonly dehydrate us:
Softdrinks
Salt
Caffeine
High-fat meals
Heavy cooked meals
Alcohol
Sure, cooked meals can still be super healthy! But it's a smart idea to combine them with lots of fresh produce in order to keep our hydration levels up.
Foods that hydrate us:
Fresh juices
Coconut water
Lemon water
Raw fruits
Raw veggies
Foods that are neutral:
Soups and herbal teas by the way are great for their healing benefits but aren't hydrating in itself - so make sure not to rely on them for your body's hydration.
Keep your hydration up, my friends!
Your body will thank you for it.
I wish you a vibrant start into the new week,
