32 ounces of water in the morning.., just tap water, raised my mood .


I have read that most of us are dehydrated during sleep, if the heat comes on. The blowing air does it.,,It dries us out.. In the summer, when we get air conditioning, the same thing happens. Recently, I have tried this and it works..yes, it really works to raise my mood. I tried it. Within the first half hour upon waking, I drink 32 oz of tap water. . In about an hour and a half, I noted a significant improvement in my mood....no matter what else was going on...

Now this one is cheap, has not hurt me, (other than going to pee a few times more) and could work for another person.... Recently, I read that 90 percent of people in this country are dehydrated. It was an attempt I think to sell bottled water, but regular tap water is fine. With regular tap water, no one makes a cent on it. In general, we wouldn't notice the improvement in mood an hour and a half after drinking the water, because it is not.."right away" But a good friend of mine recommended this, and it works for me.

this is not medical advise, this is taken from one person's experience only
