We all want to be happy and live a stress free life. Stress makes our life miserable and that prevents us from being successful & happy in our professional and personal life.
When you are stressed, it is difficult to focus on something and you feel really bad. Next time when you feel stress, drink a glass of water.
So is there any relationship between water and stress reduction?
Our body needs water to function properly. There are approximately 60-70% water in our body. One of the hormones called cortisol that gives us the energy to handle stress and fear as a part of fight to fight instinct. A little bit of dehydration may cause cortisol levels in our body to increase and lead to stress.
“You’re actually likely to get more dehydrated when you’re under stress, because your heart rate is up and you’re breathing more heavily, so you’re losing fluid,”
says Renee Melton, MS, RD, LD, director of nutrition for Sensei, a developer of online and mobile weight loss and nutrition programs.
Stress can cause dehydration and dehydration can increase stress. It is like a vicious cycle. To break this cycle, you have to drink water.
An international health expert, Dr. John Tickel says
“science has shown us that water is an excellent solution for improving mood and reducing negative stress, with well hydrated people reporting less fatigue, less confusion, and less tension.”
So, don’t forget to drink water and stay hydrated to reduce stress so that you can live a happy, healthy and stress free life.
