All about hydration 👇🏼💦 . Staying hydrated is key to looking good, feeling good, and being healthy. But today many people underconsume water. This may shock you, but 7% of adults don’t drink any pure water on a daily basis! . The usual recommendation is 8 cups a day. This is a generalization. Some people will need less, and some people need more. We lose water through sweat and pee. Here are some scenarios under which you may need more water: . 💧 Profuse sweating (sauna, exercise, etc.) 💧 You live in a dry climate 💧 You consume diuretics (coffee, alcohol) 💧 You take diuretic drugs 💧 You’re pregnant or breastfeeding (the Institute of Medicine recommends a 50% higher water intake during pregnancy) . The feeling of thirst is one way to know you need to drink more water, but by the time you feel thirsty, you are already likely dehydrated and potentially suffering consequences. . And of course, water isn’t the only way to get your water! Some veggies and fruits are very high in water content, and soups including bone broth and also decaf teas can be great ways to meeting your hydration requirements. . While we are on the topic, too much water is also not good. Drinking too much too fast can cause electrolyte depletion which, though rare, can become serious and lead to death! 💀 . What about water QUALITY? Many people drink water that is contaminated by endocrine disrupting chemicals and heavy metals. A reverse osmosis water purifier is a great option. The one I use is the AquaTru (http://maxl.ug/aquatru - use that link for $150 off for a limited time). . Hope this helps. Tag a friend to share this information! 🙏🏼 Max . Refs: H.H.

Need an epic smoothie idea to pack in some brain-supporting Genius Foods and muscle nourishing protein? 😍 I got you covered! 🍓 This epic recipe was made by Tyler aka @functional.foods. More info and ingredient amounts below: 🍓 Nutrient-dense smoothies can be a great alternative to a meal if you’re on the go. This one includes a frozen banana which adds delicious flavor and texture but I’d probably skip that under most circumstances as I feel this smoothie still has plenty of fruit without it. 🍓 Smoothies (as opposed to juices) are rich in fiber, plus antioxidants, and phytonutrients, all of which are abundant in fruits & vegetables. Its blended composition makes it easy to digest after a long night fast, as a nourishing snack, or as a post-workout recovery meal. 🍓 To make what you see here, you will need: • 1 1/2 cup unsweetened organic almond milk • 1 1/4 cups frozen organic blueberries • 4-5 frozen organic strawberries • 1 leaf lacinato kale (about 1 cup worth) • 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower • 1/2 an avocado • 1/2 a frozen banana (optional) • 2 scoops your favorite powder (I would probably use some stevia sweetened vanilla whey protein isolate) • 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds • 1 tsp matcha • 1 thumb ginger (optional to add heat) • 1 tsp cracked-cell chlorella • A large pinch of broccoli sprouts (optional) 🍓 Blend all ingredients. Add water to thin as needed. Makes a 32 Oz smoothie. Enjoy! . . . . #smoothie #mealprep #smoothiebowl #foodprep #mealplan #cleaneats #mealprepsunday #smoothies #mealprepping #macros #protein #mealprepmonday #greensmoothie #nutrition #cleaneating #flexibledieting #iifym #banana #fitfood #gains #meals #fruit #superfood #paleo #healthyeating #realfood #weightloss #rawfood #smoothietime
