The way to combat these symptoms is to drink water, thereby re-hydrating the body naturally. As our brain tissue is more than 80% fluid, drinking enough water can actually increase concentration levels and productivity. A well hydrated person will feel refreshed, more revitalised and full of energy.
A handy way to check if you are drinking enough water is to pinch the back of your hand whilst resting it on a flat surface. When you release the pinch, the skin should snap back into place. If it is slow in doing this, you are probably dehydrated. Remember to drink water even when you don't feel thirsty; by the time you feel thirsty your body has lost between 2 and 5 cups of water!
Our bodies also require water to allow it to metabolise food and nutrients and flush out harmful toxins. These toxins clog-up our body’s natural balance, making us feel lethargic and irritable, with lifeless hair and skin. Water is the most perfect and natural solution to combat these symptoms as it is rapidly absorbed into the body, which can achieve almost miraculous results.
There is no better ‘pick-me-up’ than a cup of nice cool fresh and clear water – instantly refreshing!
