It quenches your thirst, it's practically free, and it gives you energy to boot. What's this magical drink? It's water. That's right. A new study shows that even slight dehydration can send your energy into a nosedive. And it puts people in a foul mood, too. So drink up!
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.
