Favorite Ways to Hydrate
đź’¦Favorite Electrolyte:
I have been using this electrolyte brand for 4 years and I absolutely love them. They help me stay hydrated in the hot summer months but I use them year round. You can also split the packet if you just want to use it flavor your water. Florida summers are brutal so I have found adding electrolytes makes a big difference in how I feel and lessens the frequency of headaches and muscle cramps. I prefer this brand to others because of the ratio of electrolytes used without sugar, fillers, or artificial colors. If you prefer or need something with less sodium this is a good option. I highly recommend avoiding sports drinks like Gatorade for children. They contain a ton of sugar and have artificial dyes. My kids like this brand if you want to try a healthier option.
💪🏻Favorite Pre-Workout Drink:
I am new to using a pre-workout drink but I have been really impressed with this one. It tastes great and I don’t feel jittery at all when I use it. I don’t drink coffee so I am sensitive to caffeine and this gives me a nice boost of energy without feeling shaky. It delivers natural energy from caffeine that's derived from green tea extract for a long-lasting boost plus beta-alanine and L-theanine to improve physical performance, delay muscle fatigue, reduce perceived exertion, and sharpen focus. I notice a big difference in how I feel when I use it before playing tennis or pickle ball.
đź’¦Favorite Water Filter:
We have had a whole house water filtration system and a reverse osmosis water filter in our home for 7.5 years. Our children are spoiled and always think the water at other places tastes bad. Healthy water is one of the best investments you can make for your home. I have spoken with the founder of this company several times and am very impressed with her knowledge and expertise. The tankless water filter is an incredible option to save space and also eliminates the risk of bacterial contamination with traditional storage tanks. It also has an option for immediate hot water! It comes with a 10 year warranty which is rare and the filter is easy to replace. You don’t need a plumber to help you replace it. There are many options on the website so please reach out if you need specific suggestions. There are also options for renters and for filters when you travel. Use code LEAH10 for 10% off! Here are the details on the 5 stage process included in the tankless filter:
STAGE 1 – SEDIMENT FILTER
High-capacity 5-micron graded density porous carbon filter
Protects the entire system by removing dirt, rust and sediments as small as 2/10,000 of an inch
Maximum contact time with filter media for de-chlorination with effective adsorption
STAGE 2 – PRE CARBON FILTRATION
Super-fine filter creates a barrier to waterborne cysts like Cryptosporidium and Giardia, if present
Self-cleaning process
Reduces particulate matter as small as 1/10,000 of a micron
