Coconut water is naturally rich in electrolytes, which makes it more hydrating than plain water. It’s gentle on the stomach, lightly sweet, and easy to sip throughout the day.

Try this:
Keep a bottle in the fridge and pour a little into your water glass or drink it on its own over ice. Look for pure coconut water with no added sugar.

If water seems to “go straight through you,” it might not be helping as much as you think. Adding a tiny pinch of Celtic sea salt or Himalayan salt can help your body absorb and retain fluids more effectively.

Try this:
Add a small pinch to a glass of filtered water. It shouldn't taste salty, just slightly mineral-rich. This can be especially helpful if you're feeling lightheaded or dry.

Herbal teas are a soothing and effective way to get more fluids in, especially if plain water doesn’t appeal. You can brew them warm or cold, depending on what you tolerate best.

Supportive options include:

• Peppermint (settles the stomach)
• Ginger (helps with nausea)
• Nettle (rich in minerals)

Tip: Make a batch in the morning and sip throughout the day. Add lemon or a drizzle of honey if needed.

You don’t need to drink all your hydration, food counts too. Fresh fruits and vegetables that are high in water content can boost your fluid intake and provide extra vitamins at the same time.

Good options include:

• Cucumber
• Watermelon
• Oranges
• Strawberries
• Celery

These can be eaten alone, blended into smoothies, or kept cut up and chilled for easy snacking.
