The Easiest Way to Protect Yourself from Colds/Flu

That cool breeze you feel means autumn is coming—and though we love sweater weather and changing leaves as much as anyone, we always get that “uh oh” feeling as cold and flu season approaches.

One way to keep yourself well: Stay hydrated. With drier air both outdoors and inside as we turn on the heat, our mucus membranes tend to dry out, causing tiny cracks that welcome bacteria and viruses. Staying hydrated helps keep those areas soft and lubricated, protected against invaders. Hydration also boosts immunity by flushing toxins out of the body. And it gives you energy, which in turn can get you to exercise more—another immune booster.

Our secret weapon for staying hydrated all year round: Liquid I.V. This non-GMO electrolyte drink mix gets us to our #hydrationgoals in two ways. For one, it tastes great (it comes in lemon lime, acai berry and passion fruit), so we sip more. Plus, it utilizes the breakthrough science of Cellular Transport Technology (CTT)™ to deliver hydration to your bloodstream faster and more efficiently than water alone. So drinking 1 glass of water with Liquid I.V. can provide the same hydration as drinking 2 to 3 bottles of plain H2O.

And Liquid I.V. is super-convenient, too. Toss a few packets into your purse, gym bag, glove compartment, desk drawer—we have them with us everywhere, so a hydration boost is as simple as adding it to some agua.

And now it’s easier than ever to fight back against cold and flu season. Liquid I.V. is offering Clean Plates readers 20% off. Just use the code CLEANPLATES at checkout to boost your hydration.
