🔥 39°C today in Maryborough — stay hydrated, properly! 🔥
With the heat climbing, it’s not just water your body needs — it’s electrolytes too. 💧
When we sweat, we lose sodium, potassium, and magnesium — minerals that keep our energy steady, muscles functioning, and mood balanced. Without them, you might feel dizzy, fatigued, headachy, or irritable (sound familiar?).
Children dehydrate faster than adults — especially when they’re running around, playing sport, or sitting in hot classrooms. Even mild dehydration can cause:
😣 Headaches or fatigue
🥴 Trouble concentrating
😢 Irritability or emotional meltdowns
Here’s how to keep your body (and your little one's) truly hydrated:
🌿 Add a pinch of good quality salt (like Celtic or Himalayan) to your water.
🥥 Include coconut water or make your own electrolyte drink with water, lemon juice, salt, and a drizzle of honey.
🍉 Eat hydrating foods — watermelon, cucumber, oranges, berries, leafy greens.
If you’re feeling flat, light-headed, or foggy today, it might not be fatigue — it might just be dehydration. Start sipping now and your body will thank you later. 💧✨
💬 Comment “YES PLEASE” and I’ll share my favourite homemade electrolyte drink recipe — it’s natural, refreshing, and perfect for hot days like this one!
