Everett Health Tips, Staff | July 27, 2017 |
#1 — Mood booster

Researchers asked study participants to increase their consumption of water from five to 10 cups a day, subjects felt calmer and more satisfied with their life.

#2 — Faster healing

Dehydration can delay the recovery process. Water improves the microvascular circulation in your skin.

#3 — Lower stroke risk

A study from Johns Hopkins Hospital stated that people who had suffered a stroke, 44 percent were dehydrated. Dehydration may cause your blood to thicken and have a harder time passing through blood vessels.

#4 — Better workout

Have a water bottle handy for before, during and after exercise helps to prevent problems like heat stroke and painful cramps.

#5 — Headaches

Often a migraine can be triggered by dehydration. If your head starts pounding reach for 1-6 cups of water.

Dehydration suppresses blood vessels in the brain and can lead to lethargy and short-term memory loss. Refilling your water bottle will help you stay sharper!
