Water is vital to help keep your body healthy and to diminish anxiety symptoms.
Every organ in the body heavily depends on water to function properly and to its capacity. We are mostly water. The human body is 69% water. The brain is 85% water, bones 35% water, blood 83% water and the liver 90% water. (Resource: Watershed Wellness Center)
A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, and difficulty focusing and it is estimated that 75% of Americans are dehydrated. With hectic schedules it may be hard to drink 8 glasses of water daily so try to keep your water bottle handy at all times. When you start to feel thirsty your body is telling you that it's already dehydrated.
