Drink

Should you really drink 8 glasses of water per day?

Since the 1940s, we’ve been told to drink eight glasses of water per day. But drinking beyond thirst dilutes blood electrolyte levels (especially sodium levels), leading to headaches, low energy, cramps, confusion, or worse.

The key? Add electrolytes into the mix.

Enter: LMNT.

Created by scientists, LMNT has enough sodium, potassium, and magnesium to get you truly hydrated. It has zero sugar and artificial colors — while offering fan-fave flavors like Citrus Salt and Raspberry Salt.

Fun Fact

🦩 Let’s flamin-go to the zoo

Greenville Zoo receives a shipment of flamingos

GVLtoday Flamingos
Welcome home, new friends. | Photo from the City of Greenville
Greenville, we learn something new every day. The Greenville Zoo received 15 boxesyes, boxes — of flamingos. According to the City of Greenville, shipping (read: transporting in cardboard boxes) flamingos is standard practice for zoos.

On average, flamingos weigh ~4 pounds, and their feathers are very delicate. Plastic or metal cages and transport devices could injure our pink friends, but cardboard is nice and breathable and very forgiving on their bodies.

After their trip, they were given a quick check-up and were released into their new homes in Greenville. We think they’ll like it here.
