In the quest for optimal hydration we often juggle plain water and coconut water. When gut inflammation or intense sweat sessions threaten fluid balance, trendy magnetized water and “all-in-one” blends join the debate.

There is one thing that still eludes all. It is a phenomenon found in nearly 90% of women and has yet to be cured. That thing that puts the thunderstorms in short-shorts Summers. Cellulite.
