5 Hydration Myths That Are Sabotaging Your Health
Myth: “Just drink more water.”
Truth: Water without electrolytes can dilute your sodium levels and worsen dehydration symptoms.
Science Insight: Sodium helps regulate fluid absorption and nerve signaling. Without it, water passes through your system without being properly absorbed into cells. This is especially critical for low-carb and fasting individuals who lose sodium more rapidly.

Myth: “Keto flu is just carb withdrawal.”
Truth: The more likely culprit is an electrolyte crash.
Science Insight: Low insulin levels on keto signal the kidneys to excrete sodium. This leads to a cascade of mineral loss, especially sodium and potassium, causing what’s commonly called “keto flu.” Replenishing electrolytes can prevent or reverse it.

Myth: “Vegans get plenty of magnesium from plants.”
Truth: Magnesium absorption is complicated; and, sweat, stress, and caffeine deplete it fast.
Science Insight: Sweat, stress and caffeine affect vegans and everyone else. Active individuals lose magnesium through perspiration, especially in hot climates or during endurance training. Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which increases magnesium loss in urine. Meanwhile, caffeine acts as a diuretic, increasing urine output and flushing out more magnesium. Replenishing electrolytes can prevent or reverse this loss.

Myth: “Fasting doesn’t affect hydration.”
Truth: Fasting reduces food-based electrolyte intake and increases fluid loss.
Science Insight: During fasting, insulin remains low, and the body continues to excrete sodium. Without food, there’s no mineral intake to offset the loss. Electrolyte supplementation during fasts can support cognitive clarity and metabolic function.

Myth: “Hydration only matters for physical performance.”
Truth: Electrolyte balance affects your brain, mood and metabolism.
Science Insight: Electrolytes regulate neurotransmitters, hormone signaling, and cellular energy. Even mild dehydration can impair memory, concentration, and mood. Hydration isn’t just physical. It’s deeply neurological.
