Natural Ways to Boost Your Hydration (Other Than Drinking Water)
Potassium and Magnesium supports alkalinity. Alkalinity is a chemical measurement of water’s ability to neutralize acids. In powdered form, an Alkalizer Powder that supplies these minerals can support energy production, brain health, muscle health and bone health. Consuming five to seven servings of fresh vegetables and fruits daily maintains alkalinity for most indivudals, yet most Americans consume very few servings of these important foods which can lead to chronic low-grade metabolic acidosis; the minerals Potassium and Magnesium are key to maintaining mild alkalinity. According to NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survery) 98% of Americans do not get enough Potassium and 70% of Americans do not get enough Magnesium. Since Potassium is required for alkalinity, muscle function, electrolytle balance, and heart health, and Magnesium is required for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, lacking these has consequences for health.†
