BECAUSE THE GRIND NEVER STOPS

Who else’s 2020 has been crazy busy? It’s almost like this great New Year came with new adventures that is requiring a new energy. Whether it’s your career, side hustle, new relationships or new goals, it’s time to step up with a lot of self-care and a lot of determination to avoid burnout. So much of maintaining a high-level of performance in any area of life correlates with nutrition and how you’re taking care of yourself physically and mentally throughout the high-demands of your day. While we could dive into so many different aspects of self-care, let’s take it one step at time and focus specifically on healthy drinks that can serve as nutritious, energy boosters to keep you at your best all day long. And if you’re like me and spoil your pup, deservingly so, I’m here to remind you to take care of yourself too. 😜

Water

If you aren’t chugging water throughout your day and night, get yourself a cute or collegiate water bottle to remind you how important it is do so for your body, health, energy and life. #GoPokes But seriously, the benefits of water is a never-ending and constantly growing list. Looking to lose weight? Drink more water. Want more energy? Drink more water. Improve your mood? Drink more water. Want better skin? Drink more water. Your body is comprised of about two-thirds water and dehydration, even mild dehydration, can negatively affect so many areas you wouldn’t even think of like stress and energy levels to name of few. Personally, I get headaches from dehydration. When I want to lose weight, the first thing I do is double my water intake. Thirsty? Drink water, then drink a little bit more.

We all know that 2 p.m. slump it seems impossible to jump out of and back into a somewhat productive day.

Coconut Water

I’m a big fan of organic coconut water especially in the spring and summer. Not only does it offer crazy health benefits, but for me, even if I’m chugging water and I still feel thirsty, coconut water does the trick. I can absolutely tell the difference in taste if it is organic or not, and Naked’s Organic Pure Coconut Water is one of my absolute faves. It’s great for hydration, full of nutrients, antioxidants, potassium, and electrolytes. Use it to hydrate and replenish throughout your day.

Recoup

The hustle requires a recovery period just like a great workout requires recovery and replenishing of hydration, nutrients and rest. Meet Recoup. It’s a wellness beverage company with plant-powered hydration to support muscle recovery, digestion and immunity. I love their mission: To help people be their best selves by offering healthy ways to recover from the sport of modern life. Modern life is such a hustle, and really has turned into a sport so it’s time to give yourself the same treatment and nutrition you would after an intense workout. Welcome to 2020, baby.

When I tried Recoup’s powerful three (their delicious, new flavors) I was really excited to see ginger-powered on the bottles! Why? For years, I’ve used ginger for its anti-inflammatory properties to reduce swelling some of which is hereditary, some from being a former college athlete and some from participating in sport of modern life everyday. It also helps relieve sore muscles, support digestion and boost immunity and each bottle is packed with 2 tsp of pressed organic ginger. Score. It’s crafted with hydrating tree water for hydration and the nutrients and electrolytes from the organic ginger will replenish your system after a yoga class, boxing sesh, run or serve as a perfect start your day.

I loved all the flavors but like I mentioned, I love ginger! Either way, your body will thank you. Recoup’s three new flavors are watermelon + blood orange, cucumber + lemon and pineapple + coconut. You can use the code ALLISONGAPPA for an awesome discount and shop the trio here.
