Great tips, Jani! Have you also looking into hydration from the inside through metabolism? Like how healthy fat burning and ketosis release water inside the body. And how we also generate water through the electron transport chain inside our mitochondria, which can actually utilize electrons from the environment (swimming in a natural body of water, grounding our feet to the earth, getting sunlight--especially infrared sunlight while the sky is still red in the morning and evening) to create cellular water as part of the ATP cycle. This is particularly important as it creates charge-separated water (positive charge on one side and negative charge on the other) that can do particular work and boost our energy in ways the “bulk water” we drink cannot. See: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK526105/figure/article-20982.image.f1/?report=objectonly. Certain medications and environmental contaminants (from aspirin to certain cancer treatments to glyphosate) can interrupt the electron transport chain, so if “doing everything right” and still unable to hydrate/energize, looking into those other chemical problems might be worthwhile. At the same time, yes, summer can be a challenging time of year no less than deep winter!
Thank you Nikko for these tips! I haven't thought about these and I have much knowledge about it, so I find it quite helpful and I'm sure readers will too!
Good timing for this post. I really feel drained. Now I know it’s not just about me, but that this season requires more gentleness :)
Yes Livio, you're definitely not alone, I'm pretty drained too, but this is the opportunity to take a step back and recharge our batteries! :)

Good tips. Especially on hydration
