They grow like weeds around here.
So when I go out and harvest cucumbers for lunch, I can chop those up, and the water that you find in produce, like tomatoes, cucumbers, et cetera, is actually way more absorbable than the water that you drink.
And if you could like walk outside barefoot on the sand and get into the ocean on a regular basis, it's one of the best ways to charge up the body's battery.
I have like a cold tub that I keep outside for that temperature stress that I was talking to you about earlier.
because it's not in liquid or vapor or solid form.
It's in a gel-like form.
Well, the cold tub,
And so by shopping around the perimeter of the grocery store, where you don't have a lot of the dehydrated processed and packaged foods, and by instead consuming the natural fruits and vegetables and produce that are very rich in both minerals and water, you're putting into your body the minerals that it needs to actually keep the body's battery charged
it's metal, like the outside is wood.
But if I open it up and I show you the inside of the cold tub, it's metal.
And I also have Epsom salts in the tub.
And you can see I keep it really cold.
I mean, look at this.
This is like ice.
That's all ice in the top of the tub.
So it's cold, but it's also salty and it's in metal.
And so if I get in the cold tub, and I'm kind of a wimp, I'll go for like one or two minutes, sometimes a couple of times a day, but I'm getting a massive grounding effect because I'm in metal in a salty solution.
And because of the importance of minerals, I'm a huge fan of supplementing with a lot of these supplements that are mineral-based, like LMNT, or Protect, or Keaton, or even really, really good salts.
And so that's one example of a really good way to charge up the body's battery.
As a matter of fact,
