Research shows that insufficient drinking water can affect mental state


Although we know that the body needs water to maintain normal work and survival. But you may not have noticed that if you don't drink enough water throughout the day, there will be a serious side effect, that is, water will affect your mental state.

According to a study by PLOS One, drinking water can help you stay awake, alert, and even keep you in a vigorous state of mind.


Insufficient drinking water can make you feel bad

In a specific study of PLOS One, researchers evaluated two different groups of people who drink different amounts of water. The first group is people who usually drink a lot of water, but are asked to reduce the amount of water they usually drink every day. The second group is those who usually drink less water and are asked to increase their drinking water.

The results of the study show that according to the water consumption of the two groups, the mood was significantly affected. People who drink a lot of water will experience "lack of satisfaction, irritability, positive mood and decreased vitality/activity" after three days of drinking less water than usual. During these three days, those who were asked to drink more water experienced the complete opposite of the experience of those who lowered their water intake, experiencing "a tendency toward loss of fatigue/inertia, reduction in confusion/confusion, diminished thirst, and more sobriety."

During the three-day trial, people who drank less complained of headaches, thirst, lethargy, and inattention. Therefore, it is not only the bodybuilder who needs to drink more water, but also the water in the usual way.

How much water should you drink for positive emotions?

This study shows that groups with improved mood drink 2 per day,500 milliliters of water is approximately 10.5 cups of water. However, people who feel bad and depressed drink only 1,000 milliliters of water a day, which is about 4 glasses of water.

It should be noted that there are differences in the body, and the amount of water your body needs may be different from that of others. So, how much water should I drink every day? There is a simple calculation method. Just divide your weight by two and multiply oz . So, if you are 160 pounds (about 145 pounds, one pound equals 0.907 pounds), you should drink 80 ounces (about 2,368 milliliters, one ounce, etc. 29.57 milliliters) of water every day, which is equivalent to 10 glasses of water.

can also be calculated as: daily water consumption (ml) = 30 X body weight (kg).
