Nothing can ever hydrate you as effectively as water, despite the claims made. Water should always be your primary source of hydration and you should aim to drink two litres a day. However, there are a couple of things you can do to boost and prolong your hydration, particularly after exercise. Coconut water is nature’s own, great-tasting ‘sports’ drink and an excellent source of hydration. It contains naturally occurring potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorous and calcium, so it works to replenish the electrolytes we lose when we sweat. These tiny seeds can hold 10-12 times their own weight in water and are also hydrophilic – this means they prolong hydration and retain the electrolytes in our fluids. If you struggle to drink the recommended two litres of water, try mixing it up with a herbal tea or warm lemon water which is great for digestion.
