:fallen_leaf: Fall into Better Hydration with LMNT :fallen_leaf:

As the fall season arrives, it's easy to forget that staying hydrated isn’t just about water—it’s about water and electrolytes. Sweating isn’t only a summer thing, and when you lose water and sodium, both need to be replaced to prevent headaches, muscle cramps, and low energy.

Since the 1940s, we've been told to drink 8 glasses of water a day. But did you know drinking too much plain water can actually dehydrate you? When you go beyond thirst, your body’s sodium levels dilute, leading to nasty symptoms.

Enter LMNT, the electrolyte drink designed to give you just the right amount of sodium, potassium, and magnesium—with zero sugar and no artificial ingredients. Don’t let dehydration slow you down this fall. Try LMNT and get your free sample pack at DrinkLMNT.com/flyover!
