How to Hydrate With Intention This Summer: For Vibrant Women Over 50 Ready to Glow from the Inside Out

 

Sis, let’s talk water—but not just any water. I’m talking about hydration with purpose, peace, and a little bit of Southern soul. As women over 50, staying hydrated is more than just sipping water—it’s about honoring our bodies, especially during these hot-flash-heavy, summer-sun-soaked days. 

Here’s how I stay hydrated intentionally—and you can too.

---

1. Start Your Day with “Healing Water”

Before the coffee, before the to-do list, I greet my body with a tall glass of room temperature water + a squeeze of lemon + a pinch of sea salt. Sometimes I add chlorophyll or apple cider vinegar. Why?

• It helps replenish minerals
• Aids digestion
• Supports blood pressure + reduces morning fatigue

Try this: Sip slowly while reading your devotional or writing 3 gratitude notes in your journal.

2. Infuse with Flavor + Function

Plain water can feel boring. So I give mine a glow-up with:

• Cucumber + mint (cooling + anti-inflammatory)

• Strawberry + basil (refreshing + mood-boosting)

• Watermelon + lime (Southern summer in a glass)

Trina’s Tip: Invest in a glass infuser bottle (linked on my LTK!). It’ll make you want to hydrate.

3. Hydrating Herbal Teas > Sugary Sips

Hot or iced, teas like hibiscus, rooibos, peppermint, and nettle leaf help you stay cool and hydrated without the sugar crash. These are especially good for supporting hormones, energy, and skin clarity.

I keep a big mason jar pitcher of tea in the fridge for an afternoon treat.

4. Eat Your Water

Some of the most hydrating foods are also summer staples:

• Cucumbers

• Zucchini

• Bell peppers

• Watermelon

• Romaine + leafy greens

Add these to your salads, wraps, or smoothie bowls. Your skin, joints, and energy will thank you!

5. Hydrate Your Spirit, Too

Hydration isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual. Each time you take a sip, whisper an affirmation like:

“I am nourished. I am replenished. I am at peace.”
“Water flows through me, bringing light, healing, and joy.”

Make hydration a sacred self-care ritual, not just a task on your list.
