- ➤ Earlier this week, the U.S. Coast Guard watched two Chinese research ships in a disputed part of the Arctic Ocean more than 200 miles from Utqiagvik—an area the U.S. claims as part of its longer sea area even though other nations do not back this claim.

A new take on hydration
For those tracking hydration, sodium intake is key. A growing wave of research suggests that optimal health may require sodium levels two to three times higher than traditional guidelines.
That’s where LMNT comes in. This zero-sugar electrolyte mix offers a science-backed boost without the additives. Popular among athletes, intermittent fasters, and wellness-minded parents alike, it's redefining how people stay hydrated.
Try LMNT totally risk-free and get a free LMNT Sample Pack with any purchase. Pro tip: If you don’t like it, they’ll refund your order, no questions asked.
