When you’re exercising regularly on a high-protein, low-carb diet, hydration becomes even more crucial. Lower-carb diets mean you’re missing out on the hydration “boost” from carbs, where the word “hydrate” is actually part of “carbohydrate.” This often requires extra sodium to maintain balance, prevent cramping, and boost performance, especially since clean diets, without packaged foods, provide less salt. Natural sources like zucchini, pickles, and olives, plus a dash of sea salt in your water, can be a huge help for staying hydrated and supporting joint health.

For an added boost, a well-balanced Electrolyte Formula, like the one from Catanzaro Supplements, is ideal around workouts. Try it with this easy, refreshing recipe I use personally.

Fueling up with the right hydration will support your active lifestyle and keep you going strong!
