Water

So, everyone is told "drink lots of water"
so you do.

Maybe that will work for you, your headaches will disappear, and you'll feel great.

Awesome! I'm happy for you.

but if you're like me, and get headaches at weird times (getting up too fast, lifting heavy, after drinking too much water) then this post is for you.

Electrolytes.

what are they?

well, wikipedia.org has them defined as
"In chemistry, an electrolyte is any substance containing free ions that make the substance electrically conductive."

Riiiight.

well, after searching, and figuring out what they are, you basically have something MUCH more important than "drink your water"

BALANCE YOUR WATER

what i mean is that if you don't have a balance of electrolytes, you're more apt to be like me, and have headaches due to turnover of these things called electrolytes.

more commonly, they are:
sodium(Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), chloride (Cl−), hydrogen phosphate (HPO42−), and hydrogen carbonate (HCO3−).

Yes, im saying make SURE you have salt in your hydration plan.

some people, i have prescribed them to takes calcium, mag, and potassium. this is why.

your body regulates fluids through the kidneys. salt pulls the fluid in. so basically, you need to get enough of each of the electrolytes to make sure your kidneys are doing one of their jobs.

so, salting your food with sea salt is a GOOD idea. especially if you're working out, it supplies your body with "grease" for working out. no more cramps, no more weird clicking joints.

Give it a try, it helped myself and a LOT of my clients out. we need salt/electrolytes.
