Ever feel like you’re running on empty — no matter how much sleep or coffee you get? ☕😴

It might not be you... it might be your minerals.

Copper helps your body make energy at the cellular level — but most of us aren’t getting the usable form our bodies need.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll explore how to bring your body back into balance.

💬 Tell us in the comments: what’s one area you’d love more energy or clarity in this season?

⚡ The Spark of Life Inside You

Copper might be one of the smallest minerals in your body — but it holds incredible power.

When in its bioavailable form, copper activates over 30 enzymes that help your body create clean energy, balance iron, protect from oxidative stress, and support a calm mood and metabolism.

🧬 It works hand-in-hand with a special protein called ceruloplasmin — together, they keep your body’s energy flowing smoothly.

When these two are out of sync, energy dips, fatigue creeps in, and inflammation can rise.

This month, we’re exploring “The Copper Connection” — how this trace mineral influences your energy, hormones, and overall vitality.

🌿 Stay tuned as we uncover how modern living affects copper balance — and how to restore your inner spark, naturally.

💦 How Drinking More Water Helps Boost Magnesium Levels

🩵 1. Hydration Improves Magnesium Absorption

When your body is well-hydrated, your digestive system works more efficiently — which means it can absorb minerals like magnesium more effectively from food and supplements.
If you’re dehydrated, your intestines may draw water away from digestion, reducing nutrient absorption overall.

🧠 So more water = better magnesium uptake.

⚡ 2. Water Itself Can Contain Magnesium

Many people don’t realize this — natural mineral water and certain filtered or spring waters contain measurable amounts of magnesium.
Depending on your local water source, just drinking enough water daily could provide up to 10–30% of your recommended magnesium intake!

💧 Check your bottled or filtered water label — you might be sipping magnesium already.

🌿 3. Hydration & Electrolyte Balance Go Together

Magnesium is an electrolyte, along with sodium, potassium, and calcium.
These minerals help regulate fluid balance, muscle contractions, and nerve function.
When you’re dehydrated (especially after sweating, sauna use, or exercise), your magnesium levels can drop quickly — leading to fatigue, cramps, or headaches.

🥤 Rehydrating with mineral-rich water or an electrolyte drink helps restore magnesium and keep your system in balance.

💪 4. Water Helps Flush Stress Byproducts

Stress causes your body to use up magnesium faster — and dehydration intensifies that effect.
By staying hydrated, you help your kidneys flush stress byproducts and toxins while maintaining steady magnesium circulation through your bloodstream.

💧 Hydration supports calm and balance — from the inside out.

🌸 5. Hydration Boosts the Benefits of Magnesium

Even if you’re taking magnesium supplements or eating magnesium-rich foods, they work best when you’re well-hydrated.
Think of water as the delivery system that carries magnesium to your cells — without it, your body can’t fully use the minerals you’re giving it.

🚰 Magnesium needs water the way a plant needs sunlight.

🥦 Tips to Support Both Hydration & Magnesium

✅ Sip water throughout the day (not all at once)
✅ Add a pinch of sea salt or trace mineral drops to your water for electrolyte balance
✅ Include magnesium-rich foods like spinach, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and avocados
✅ Choose spring or mineral water over distilled (which lacks natural minerals)
✅ After sweating, rehydrate with coconut water or magnesium-infused drinks

Stay hydrated — your magnesium (and your mood) will thank you! 💦✨

Cooking Tip Wednesday

👩‍🍳 Quick Tip: Don’t overcook your veggies!

Steaming or lightly sautéing helps keep their magnesium (and other minerals) intact. Overcooking can destroy magnesium content.

Steam or sauté for the win!

Your body — and your taste buds — will thank you. 💚

P.s. I'm curious. What are you favorite veggies to cook?
