Filled with wholesome Postassium-rich fruits and vegetables, there’s no need to go through a body toning, muscle fatiguing barre workout without a nutrient rich, and delicious smoothie like this. Potassium and Sodium are some electrolytes your body needs for contracting muscles, exchanging and flushing fluids. Sodium isn’t typically difficult to come by, and if over-consumed, tends to cause us to retain fluids, increasing inflammatory reaction. Meanwhile too many in our population are Potassium deficient. What’s more, it’s better absorbed through food.
So you’ve tapped into some amazing deep-muscle activating moves, but you need them relaxed and hydrated too. So get your detox on and recover from the sore after-burn by not only stretching, and hydrating with water but also by indulging in nature’s delicious electrolytes!
