Hey gorgeous! How great was Chevy's ab routine yesterday?! We've been keeping up with all your #TIULoveYourBody checkins and we see you working hard and crushing your workouts every day. So we're just checking in to make sure you're taking extra care to stay hydrated...you know it's SO important and an essential way to show your body love. Today we're sharing the deets about a superfood that will supply some serious post-workout hydration and so many more perks.

Your new post-workout secret weapon: pink Himalayan salt! Since it's mined from ancient sea beds, you'll receive all the muscle-recovery benefits of this mineral-loaded salt without toxins or anything unnatural. Andddd it's pink... just like our favorite wine 💕

Hydration + Detoxification

With 84 minerals, pink Himalayan salt provides your body with essential nutrients and replenishing electrolytes. When you complete a tough workout, your body releases those electrolytes through sweat. Post-workout, we suggest adding a pinch of pink Himalayan salt to an 8oz glass of water to replenish the cells in your body. Plus, it'll help restore your body's pH levels, making this an excellent detoxifying sip.

Muscle Recovery

One of the many minerals found in pink Himalayan salt is magnesium, which works powerfully in your body to reduce muscle soreness. And it helps ease you into a deeper, more restful sleep 😴 One study¹ found that patients who consumed enough salt eased their nervous systems, which in turn improved their quality of sleep and reduced the number of times they woke up throughout the night.

Hormone Balance

Another essential mineral found in pink Himalayan salt is iodine. The body relies on iodine to regulate your thyroid and adrenal glands, which both help to balance your hormones. And with your hormone levels in check, you'll have more energy, reduced stress levels, and bright and glowing skin!

We love adding a pinch of pink salt to our salads or homemade dressings for all of the body-loving benefits! If you're monitoring your sodium levels, make sure to consult with your doctor first.
