Skip to content Water is life. That sounds almost too simple – but it’s the truth. Our body consists of around 70% water and every single cell is dependent on good hydration. However, many people drink too little – with consequences that often manifest themselves gradually in everyday life: Tiredness, concentration problems, headaches, dry skin or food cravings.
What many people don’t know: Not only water alone, but also electrolytes play a central role in our cell health and energy.
Even a slight lack of water can have a massive impact on your well-being.
Here are some typical signs of dehydration:
Dry mouth or chapped lips
Exhaustion and lack of energy
Concentration disorders or “brain fog”
Headache
Dark urine or infrequent urge to urinate
Muscle cramps
Irritability or mood swings
Your body then tries to draw the missing water from tissues and cells – in the long term this can lead to a disturbed metabolism and an increased burden on the detoxification organs.
Why water alone is often not enough
Water is essential – but it is not always enough to optimally regulate your fluid balance.
Especially when you sweat a lot (e.g. through sport, heat, sauna or stress), you not only lose water, but also important minerals and salts – so-called electrolytes such as:
Magnesium
Potassium
Sodium
Calcium
Chloride
Without these electrolytes, your body cannot absorb or store water properly – it “runs through”, so to speak, without really supplying the cells. The result: you drink enough, but still feel tired.
Optimal hydration means water incl. electrolytes to your body. This keeps your fluid balance stable, your cells are nourished and your energy levels can increase.
Especially in phases of hormonal change (e.g. menopause), in the heat, after intense days or when you are ravenously hungry, a targeted electrolyte intake can work wonders – even against the dreaded afternoon tiredness.
I personally use MetaPWR Recharge daily, a natural drink powder from dōTERRA with coconut water, electrolytes and mitochondria-supporting ingredients such as NADH and coenzyme Q10.
It is sugar-free, contains no artificial sweeteners and tastes super fresh like orange. For me, it’s the perfect companion on days when I need a lot of energy – or feel that my body needs extra support.
And the best thing is: it’s simply fun to drink more when it’s delicious.
Start the day with a glass of water – preferably with some lemon or electrolytes.
Drink regularly throughout the day, not all at once.
Set yourself visual reminders – e.g. a nice bottle or app.
Choose high-quality electrolyte sources, without sugar or artificial additives.
Listen to your body – thirst is a late warning signal!
Hydration is more than just drinking water – it is cell care, a source of energy and a regeneration booster all in one. If you give your body what it really needs, you will notice it very quickly: more clarity, a better mood, healthier skin and above all – a better quality of life.
If you want to support your body holistically, start with one simple step: drink more – but drink it right.
