    Here’s a /c/dullmensclub thing I learned lately, staying hydrated will give you more energy. So I’ve been doing cups of tea with a pinch of salt for the electrolytes and then sip on water in between. The hell of it is it works but my adhd ass will forget and I’ll have to rediscover this simple shit if I can’t at least habit stack it.

      Although staying hydrated will keep your energy levels up, tea has caffeine in it, too. As long as you’re eating food once in awhile, you don’t need to worry about electrolytes.

        I’ve been doing well with herbal teas too, my lemon blend pairs decent. I add sugar to all my teas as well so I barely taste any salt.

        Edit: Your question gave me a new question because I do intermitting fasting. Went down a rabbit hole and it turns out I’ve probably been giving myself low sodium levels for a while and therefore lower energy levels by intermitting fasting. I still think the pinch of sodium in teas can help a variety of situations but do so at what you think is best for your health.
