Drink Water Fight fatigue with water: Why water cures you when you are tired
>What's the easiest, cheapest, and fastest cure when you're dragging? Water. Fatigue is, after all, one of the first signs of dehydration. Even a small drop in your body's water levels can hurt you. A recent study from Tufts University found that mild dehydration -- a loss of just 1 to 2 percent of body weight as water -- was enough to impair thinking. If it turns into full-blown dehydration, it could cause an imbalance in electrolytes like sodium and potassium, which aid muscles and heart function.
How much water you need depends on your activity level (1 to 1 1/2 cups every 15 minutes while working out) and where you live (you lose more fluids in heat and humidity and at high altitudes). The National Academy of Sciences suggests that women consume 11 cups of fluid every day -- though not all of this has to be water. About 8 cups can come from other drinks (including tea) and the rest from what you eat. Watermelon, cucumbers, and most other fruits and vegetables are obvious sources (1 cups of watermelon has almost a full cup of water), but lots of foods are wetter than you might have guessed.
