Make seawater a morning staple.
The gist:
People often start their day with a glass of lemon water, but some experts argue seawater is actually the best pre-breakfast drink.
Expert insight:
Compared to other beverages, pure seawater contains high amounts of magnesium, electrolytes, vitamins, and micronutrients, explains Ara Dalzell Patterson, New York City-based vice president of food and beverage at Equinox. This combination speeds up absorption for better hydration and faster delivery of minerals to the body.
“Together, all these elements can reduce jet lag symptoms, stabilize your mood, and minimize brain fog,” she says. Since it replaces electrolytes you lose during workouts, it also purportedly eases cramps and soreness.
The bottom line:
Dalzell Patterson recommends drinking one ampoule (10 milliliters) of Quinton Hypertonic™, provided in every room of the Equinox Hotel in New York City, each morning. Take it on an empty stomach at least 10 minutes before breakfast to get all the benefits.
