Approximately 50% to 60% of your body is made up of water, and it is important to keep this level balanced through hydration.
How water affects the body
Water in the human body helps convert food into energy, helps the body absorb nutrients, hydrates oxygen for breathing, regulates body temperature, participates in metabolism, protects vital organs, lubricates joints, and removes various waste from the body.
How water affects a person's mood
Several studies have shown that not drinking enough water can negatively impact concentration and short-term memory.
Not drinking enough water can also affect your mood.
Dehydration can lead to fatigue, anxiety and confusion.
Water eliminates symptoms of stress such as headaches, muscle tension, deterioration of thinking, palpitations, and loss of strength.
Even slight dehydration can lead to decreased energy levels and poor thinking.
Dehydration also increases the amount of the “stress hormone” cortisol.
Water helps our body function properly and we feel much better.
This has a positive effect on our mood and concentration levels.
