Day 18: Stay Hydrated to Reduce Anxiety ๐งโจ Iโm a huge believer in taking care of our basic needs to minimize anxiety-like symptoms. Now, Iโm not saying that drinking water will take away your anxiety, but what I am saying is that if weโre not taking care of our body, our nervous system will respond in ways that mimic anxiety, like when weโre dehydrated. How Dehydration Affects Anxiety: ๐น Increases heart rate & dizziness, which can feel like a panic attack. ๐น Lowers blood pressure, leading to brain fog and fatigue. ๐น Creates an electrolyte imbalance, affecting mood regulation. ๐น Triggers headaches & irritability, making it harder to manage stress. How to Stay Hydrated: ๐ง Start your morning with water โ Before caffeine, drink a glass of water to rehydrate after sleep. ๐ง Set reminders โ If you forget to drink, use an app or timer to remind yourself. ๐ง Eat water-rich foods โ Cucumbers, watermelon, and oranges help keep you hydrated. ๐ง Limit dehydrating drinks โ Coffee, alcohol, and sugary sodas can increase dehydration. Taking care of your body supports your nervous system, improves focus, and helps ease unnecessary anxiety symptoms. Try increasing your water intake today and notice how your body feels!
