Water and anxiety

May 5, 2022

In a situation where your nerves are tense and you are overwhelmed with negative emotions, a simple advice to “drink water” can be very useful and timely. A sip of water really helps relieve anxiety and calm down, normalizing brain function. Water, which makes up 60–80% of the human body, is one of the most important nutrients, without which life is simply impossible, and preventing dehydration helps maintain not only physical but also mental health. The higher the water deficit in the body, the worse mood and sleep, less strength, harder to think, higher nervous tension, more negative emotions: irritation, anger, hostility, anxiety.
