Panic Attack Tips: The Value of Water

If you change only one thing in your diet you could do a lot worse than simply increasing the amount of plain water you drink

If you change only one thing in your diet you could do a lot worse than simply increasing the amount of plain water you drink, for water can have a profound effect on the way we feel. Symptoms of 'fuzzy thinking' and poor concentration, for example, can simply be a matter of dehydration which is soon improved by having a glass of water. Water is also the solvent for many of the toxins that are flushed out of the body in the urine via the kidneys. When reducing the amount of caffeine you consume, withdrawal symptoms such as headaches can be helped by increasing the amount of water that is drunk throughout the day.

The body is approximately three-quarters water. About two litres, or approximately eight tumblers, of water are needed every day to replace fluids excreted in waste products, sweat and even in the air we exhale. More than this amount is needed in warmer weather and when undertaking physical exercise. If your urine is darker in colour with a strong smell, then dehydration is the likely cause. Counting the water which is used in cups of tea or coffee towards your total water intake doesn't work, as the caffeine contained in these drinks has a diuretic effect, causing you to get rid of yet more water. Diluted fruit juices, for example, are better than no water-containing liquids at all, but drinking plain water is the most effective solution for dehydration.

Although many people do not actually feel thirsty, most of us appear to be suffering from chronic dehydration to some degree and feel better if we drink more water. Beginning a regime of drinking more water may take a certain amount of discipline -even willpower. Nevertheless, the benefits to the way you think and feel can appear within a week or two of making a concerted effort to drink more water. Eventually, your thirst sensation will be reawakened and plain water will become the thirst-quenching drink you enjoy.
