In my monthly newsletter, I answer questions for my clients and followers in a section called, “Ask Nancy.” Recently I had a question concerning hydration. She was wondering if I had any tips for more optimum hydration.
Hydration is vitally important, because our bodies are about 66–72% water. Blood uses the water to transport oxygen, nutrients, and antibodies to all parts of the body. In fact, many illnesses are actually a result of chronic intracellular dehydration. When we feel thirsty, we are already dehydrated.
I always drink a glass of pure mineralized water as soon as I wake in the morning. When we wake up, our body is empty, so our body will absorb whatever we ingest like a sponge. Therefore, a glass of high-quality, mineral-rich water will be utilized more efficiently.
I add Bolivian rose sea salt to my water to add the minerals. I add about 1/8 of a teaspoon to every 16 ounces of water. I’m sure you have heard the term electrolyte. Electrolyte is a fancy medical term for the word salt. The salt (minerals) helps the body absorb the water more effectively.
Dr. David Brownstein has marvelous books and research on salt, iodine, the thyroid.

I try not to drink my water with meals, because it can water-down the digestive enzyme juices, making it harder to digest the food. Fluids are best consumed between meals. Avoid toxic drinks like Gatorade or Pedialyte, which contain chemicals which can shut down your thyroid.
Drink clean healthy mineral-rich water or pure coconut water to become truly hydrated.
I wish you greater health, and I hope this information helps you.
Love, Nancy
