💧 Hydration Check! 💧

With summer on our doorstep, staying hydrated is key to keeping cool and energized. Remember, it’s not just about water—electrolytes play a vital role, too! They help maintain energy, muscle function, and hydration levels, especially as you sweat more in the heat. 🌞

Pro Tip: Add electrolyte-rich foods like bananas, oranges, or a pinch of sea salt to your water to support your body even more. Let’s keep those hydration levels up and stay summer-strong! 💪🌊
