  After sweating, it’s not just about water and electrolytes — your whole "recovery system" can be shaken by increased oxidative stress, shifts in gut microbiota, protein breakdown, and glycogen depletion. This guide presents a four-pillar approach to recovery meals after workouts, outdoor activities, or sauna sessions: Antioxidants (blueberries, green tea), Gut Health (yogurt, kimchi + oats), Muscle Repair (eggs, tofu, salmon), and Energy Refill (brown rice, sweet potatoes, dates). We also explain why avoiding excess sodium and sugar matters, and why the golden rule is to consume protein + carbohydrates within 30–60 minutes post-activity — with practical recipe ideas included.

  This post explains why drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning matters and how to do it right. After 6–8 hours of sleep, mild dehydration from breathing and sweating can cause brain fog and sluggish circulation.
