We are all aware of the fact that staying hydrated is vital for survival, but are you aware that drinking a glass of water can also make you more productive at your workplace? Yes, it’s true. To know more about how drinking more water can make you more productive, simply scroll down.
Ø
Better Performance
When you
drink enough water, you stay energized and take on any tasks that you need to
get done. If you don’t drink enough water, your motivation will lessen, the
fatigue will increase, and the body temperature control will also be altered.
Dehydration will affect the way your body functions. So, you need to have ample
water to ensure there are no such ill effects on your performance.
Ø
Fuel for Brain
Not many
people know that the amount of water you have has a direct impact on the
function and capacity of your brain. Different studies have proved that fluid
loss can lead to problems like headaches, anxiety, fatigue, lack of memory,
etc. So, a smart way to prevent mental fatigue is to stay properly hydrated.
Ø
Avoid Headaches
If you have
ever suffered from a bad headache, you will agree that it negatively impacts
your productivity and can even make you feel incapacitated. Not staying
hydrated makes you have afternoon headaches or even migraines. Studies say that
you can avoid headaches by staying hydrated. Some studies even say that you can
help treat headaches if you stay hydrated.
What
Latest Studies Say?
A new study
conducted by the University of East London has unveiled that a person’s brain
is better able to focus on tasks after a person has consumed enough water. The
researchers tested 34 people and divided them into two groups. The first group
ate a plain breakfast, but the second had water after breakfast.
As per the
results, the second group performed 14 percent quicker after having water. Researchers
believe that the brain of a thirsty person sends the message of thirst to the
body of that person. When the thirst is quenched, the person’s brain doesn’t
have to pay attention to sending these signals. So, it helps improve a person’s
ability to not just function but also think and perform better. Drinking enough
water also helps get relief from dehydration which saps energy and makes a
person feel tired.
Another
study backed the results of the first study. This study was conducted on
teenagers who were asked to ride bicycles for an hour and a half. One group of
teens were asked to wear heavy clothing, and they experienced shrinkage of the brain
that was equivalent to losing one year of age. However, after the teens drank
enough water, the brain shrinkage reversed.
So, the
researchers of the second study concluded that staying hydrated helps make
thinking and functioning easier, which further contributes to making a person
productive.
In addition
to help boost productivity, drinking enough water can also help
improve your skin. It even helps with weight loss.
