Hello everyone, I am looking for some opinions on creatine. I read good things about it from different sources and I wonder if you have tried it and it helped you not only around building muscles but also to support cognitive functions as you grow older. I would really appreciate some feedback as I can’t seem to make up my mind: should I give it a go or not? Any side effects? Any particular ones you found to be good quality? 🤷🏻‍♀️

You’ve been told to “drink more water.” But most people are drowning their energy, not fuelling it. Water alone doesn’t hydrate you. It dilutes you. Think of your body like a phone battery. You wouldn’t charge it without power running through the cable. Electrolytes are that power. ⚡ They carry the electrical signals that keep your brain sharp, your muscles firing, your hormones balanced. Strip them away, and your system shorts out. That’s why so many people drink 3 litres a day and still feel... → Sluggish → Dizzy → Craving salt or sugar Because they’re flushing out the minerals that make hydration work. 🤓 A 2023 study in the European Journal of Nutrition found that electrolyte-enriched fluids improved hydration efficiency by 40% compared to plain water. That’s the difference between running at 60% and feeling fully switched on. When you consider the brain is 73% water, you can see why this is a smart upgrade. Here’s what I do: Before coffee. Before breakfast. A glass of water with electrolytes, hyaluronic acid, and creatine. It wakes up my cells before I wake up my mind. Creatine helps my focus and strength. Electrolytes + hyaluronic acid pull water into the cells, where it actually matters. If you’re still feeling flat no matter how much you drink… It’s time to HYDRATE properly. 💡Thrive365 Tip: → Salt your mornings: ¼ tsp quality sea salt or electrolyte mix in your first glass of water → Add potassium foods: avocado, Greek yoghurt, banana → Add magnesium foods: (85%+) dark chocolate, pumpkin seeds, black beans →Stop after 7PM to protect your sleep Hydration isn’t about litres. It’s about balance. Fuel your body. Don’t flush it. If you want the exact mix I use every morning, drop 'HYDRATE' below and I’ll send you my personal recommendation.

Eating them in the past has always been a struggle for me. Since introducing this greens drink to my daily routine, I've noticed my skin has improved, my energy levels are considerably higher, and I have been feeling great. I've always struggled to eat my 5-a-day, especially veggies. This is where this drink is so handy. Just one scoop. Water and it tastes really good! And the taste is surprisingly good. Most greens powders taste like pond water 😩 This one’s different, barely any flavour, so it mixes with anything (even just plain water). I even sneak it into my kids’ pasta sauce. Dad 1 – 0 Kids. If you struggle to hit your 5-a-day or feel like your energy’s dipped, adding greens could be a game-changer. Want the one I use? Drop ‘GREENS’ in the comments and I’ll send you the link.

So I have to come clean. I didn’t finish the 10 days clean eating on my first attempt. Or second. The reasons why I haven’t managed, are not important, what’s important is that I started again. And today, 10 days later and 3.2kg lighter, I am pretty proud of myself. It doesn’t even matter if I am behind everyone else, I am simply so chuffed to have managed this that I have been grinning like a Cheshire Cat all day 😁 thank you @Mark Bryce , this is only the beginning!
