Dietitians: Drinking water alone is not enough, add electrolytes for more hydration

Hydration isn't just about drinking fluids. It's about whether your system can properly absorb and circulate that fluid. To do this, the body relies on electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium, which quietly regulate fluid balance, muscle function, and steady energy levels. Without them, water moves through the body less than you'd expect.

When electrolyte levels drop, your body struggles to retain the water you drink. That's why plain water may not be enough at certain times. The solution isn't complicated. In fact, it's very well known.

You can add electrolytes to your drinks in several ways: with a glass of coconut water, milk with a little salt, a cup of homemade tea,

During the day, you can accompany these drinks with fruits like bananas or oranges.

These are not "health hacks." They are traditional, everyday choices that quietly restore what the body has lost. /CNA
