If you are experiencing confusion or disorientation, muscle cramps, weakness, headaches or fatigue it may be time to look at the food on your plate. Are you getting enough electrolytes?
Electrolytes are essential minerals such as sodium, calcium & potassium that help with sleep, immune system function, concentration, digestion, and hydration.
Travelling in tropical and hot countries, I became obsessed with my daily fresh coconut. There is something about picking up a coconut off the floor, opening it and drinking the water straight from the source. It's nature's perfect electrolyte drink.
But you don't need to be on a tropical island to nourish your mind through food. Here are simple ways to boost your electrolytes naturally:
Coconut water, bananas, avocados, leafy greens, sea salt in your water, bone broth, citrus fruits.
Your brain is approximately 75% water. When it's dehydrated, everything suffers — mood, focus, memory, creativity. Before reaching for another coffee, try a glass of water with a pinch of sea salt and a squeeze of lemon.
Feed your mind. It's doing a lot for you.
