Water will help you focus on staying hydrated and maintain your energy throughout the day. Lemon juice is great for gastrointestinal function, Vitamin C production, reduced inflammation, and good immune function. It also provides the necessary acidity needed for the stomach and gut to break down any food consumed throughout the day. Himalayan sea salt provides the main electrolytes and minerals critical for normal function and is vital to proper muscle activation and contractions as well as managing the athlete’s adrenal system.
