The Magic Drink That Boosts Energy
Friday, February 12, 2010
It quenches your thirst, it's practically free, and it gives you energy to boot. What's this magical energy drink? It's water.
That's right. A new study shows that slight dehydration can send your energy into a nosedive. And it puts people in a foul mood, too. So turn on the tap.
Thirsty, Tired, and Grumpy
When water was withheld from a group of college students who were working out, they reported not just greater feelings of thirst but also more fatigue, anger, depression, and confusion than the group of well-hydrated exercisers. And the researchers suspect that dehydration would probably cause these same side effects in folks who aren't exercising but are water deprived -- although more study is needed to say for sure. Bottom line: Check your fluid intake if you need a pick-me-up.
