Smaller meals mean less fluid from food, and it's easy to drink less without noticing.
The quiet hydration gap
Roughly 20% of daily water intake normally comes from food. When portions shrink, that source shrinks too, so it's easy to fall behind.
Why electrolytes matter
Sodium, potassium and magnesium help your body use the fluid you drink and support normal muscle function. Replenishing electrolytes alongside water supports everyday hydration.
Making it a habit
The easiest hydration routine is one you don't have to think about. Keep water visible, pair an electrolyte drink with a daily anchor like lunch or a workout, and sip consistently.
