SUGGESTIONS:

*Seaweed (helps with muscle cramping, restoring salts)

*Electrolyte Mix (such as Emergen’C’ powder packets) to help hydrate your body

*Coconut Water (EXCELLENT at re-hydrating, contains more potassium and minerals than anything else)

*Items starred are great ʻsweatingʼ foods. They can help restore essential minerals, help ʻgroundʼ and balance your

bodies, or balance salt levels and rehydrate! Bananas have potassium, and grapefruit alkalizes and reduces swelling.
