💦PSA from Flow Studio: hydration is not just about drinking more water. It is about balance.�
💧 When we sweat heavily, work out in heat, drink alcohol, start the day with coffee before water, or breathe through the mouth, we can become depleted more quickly than we realize.
💦But one of the biggest mistakes is trying to “catch up” too aggressively with large amounts of water, electrolytes, salty drinks, or IV fluids.�
🩵Dehydration is a balance problem — and overcorrecting can become a balance problem too. Too much water can dilute electrolytes. Too much sodium/electrolyte replacement can contribute to puffiness, fluid retention, higher blood pressure, and extra work for the kidneys.�
The goal is steady support:�
💦drink water before (and between!) coffee or alcoholic beverages�
💧replace electrolytes when you actually sweat heavily�
💦avoid “sweating it out” when you already feel depleted�
💧return to exercise gradually after illness, dehydration, or unusual fatigue�
💦pay attention to urine, swelling, energy, blood pressure, and recovery�
🩵Hydration is a daily rhythm of listening, replenishing, and respecting the body’s signals.�
