Pharmacist Debunks Hydration Myth: Water Alone Isn't Enough

A pharmacist from the US recently shared a video debunking a common misconception about hydration. In her video, she explains that simply drinking a lot of water isn't enough for proper hydration. "Water alone will not hydrate you," she states, emphasizing the need for electrolytes like magnesium, potassium, and sodium. These electrolytes, she explains, help maintain fluid and blood volume. She suggests using pink Himalayan or Celtic salt as sources of these electrolytes, in contrast to regular table salt, which contains only sodium. This informative video highlights the importance of a balanced approach to hydration, going beyond the simple "drink more water" advice.
