My favorite “cocktail” for better energy.

Written By Sara Preston

If you follow me on Instagram you should know by now that I love LMNT electrolytes. I use it to make my adrenal cocktail. Mix one packet with 2 oz of OJ and 14 oz of water. 

Mineral support is very important in peri and post menopause. Did you know that water makes up 70% of a healthy, young woman and that percentage decreases with age? In post-menopausal women it is closer to only 55%. 

According to Menopause Natural Solutions, during pre and post menopause:

  • Imbalanced hormones change our fluid balance.

  • Progesterone acts as a diuretic.

  • Estrogen can act as a fluid retaining hormone.

  • Estrogen-related fluid retention can also feel like bloating and it’s related to a reduction in sodium levels.

  • Excessive sweating from hot flushes and night sweats further reduce sodium levels and compound the problem.

  • Heavy menstrual flow like some women in peri-menopause experience can also create dehydration.

Electrolytes can help!  They have been reported to help with:

  • Hydration

  • Nerve health

  • Brain health

  • Energy

  • Sleep

  • Not waking to use the restroom

  • Hormone support

Try them and see if you notice any improvements!
