If you've ever stood in your kitchen, shaker in hand, wondering “Do I drink this now or later?” — you're not alone.

Running a 5K soon? Here’s what to eat before your race for energy, endurance, and zero regrets. Plus: why Mizu Lab electrolytes are a runner’s best friend.

Whether it's after a sweaty workout, a long nap, too much sun, or one too many iced Americanos, we’ve all had those “why am I this thirsty?” moments. The good news? You don’t need an IV drip or a fancy spa treatment to bounce back.

You’ve brushed your teeth. You’re about to crawl into bed. And then it hits you: Am I… thirsty? Should you reach for plain water? Tea? Or — curveball — electrolytes?

Let’s face it: not every occasion needs booze. Whether you're skipping alcohol for health, clarity, or just because it's Tuesday, mocktails are the new go-to for flavor-forward sipping.

We get it — sodium has a bit of a PR problem. It’s often blamed for bloating, high blood pressure, and dehydration. So it’s no surprise people ask: “Does sodium dehydrate you?”
