Drinking water alone doesn't hydrate you without electrolytes like sodium, magnesium, and potassium. Without minerals, water passes through your system fast, leaving you tired, foggy, and cramping even though you're drinking plenty.
Most people think that hydration means drinking more and more water, but here's the truth: if your minerals are low, water will just run right through you. You need sodium, then you need magnesium, and then you also need some potassium to actually absorb and use that water. Otherwise, you're peeing all day and still feeling tired, foggy, or crampy, and minerals are going through you. Hydration is a team effort, not a solo act.
