Drink Coffee? You May Need To Increase Your Sodium
Updated: Jun 14
Did you know that caffeine/coffee leads to sodium loss?
It is recommended to consume 3-5,000 mg of sodium per day for optimal health.
If you are sweating due to movement, you need to add 1,000 mg for each hour of movement/exercise.
2 cups of coffee = 600 mg of sodium loss
4 cups of coffee = 1,200 mg of sodium loss
6 cups of coffee = 1,800 mg of sodium loss
To stay hydrated, you need the electrolytes!
Some of my favorite options are Drink LMNT (ANCHOR has this in-house if you would like to try some).
Redmond Life also has some good electrolyte options.
Until next time,
Drink your water with electrolytes
