Short tempered, whiny, tired, and irritable – sound familiar? The signs of hunger are brutal and undeniable, and for those of us who suffer from frequent dips in blood sugar, we can be a real nightmare for friends, co-workers, family, and society in general.

Another real, yet less well-recognized danger to our overall mental stability is thirst. Studies show that even mild dehydration has a negative effect on mood, energy, and focus, and can create all sorts of chaos in our daily life. This doesn’t matter if it comes from exercise or if you’ve been sitting at your desk all day. Loss of only 1.5 water volume can have adverse impact on your emotional stability. Here’s how.

headaches and fatigue

For about 70% of the population, mid-afternoon delivers a creeping feeling that if we don’t get a coffee or stimulant in us, something very, very bad might happen. This time of day tends to come with anything from mild brain fog to full blown migraines, and a lot of times a coffee or stimulant will relieve these ailments. While many of us accept this as a normal part of life, these frustrating and widely accepted daily discomforts are, typically, in relation to dehydration.

Slight dehydration also leads to reduced cognitive ability, and increased perception of tasks to appear more difficult than they actually are. Not only does dehydration cause pesky to severe physical discomforts, it also makes your perception of the tasks at hand to seem more complex and challenging, effecting efficiency and productivity.

mood and emotional stability

Studies show that a drop in mood and emotional stability occurs even at a low level of dehydration. Where headaches are a nuisance, anxiety and tension can be the next layer of suffering that comes from insufficient hydration. From there, motivation is adversely affected and staying committed to a regimen that includes working out, making healthy choices, and remaining positive and focused falls to the wayside. To maintain a stable and healthy mindset for our everyday responsibilities and challenges, drinking refreshing and hydrating Penta can make all the difference.

hunger and our hormones

Many times the mind mistakes our body’s signal for thirst as hunger. When we reach for food instead of a glass of water, we not only ingest unnecessary calories, we don’t respond appropriately to our body’s alerts. Trying to satiate our cravings with other than what it wants strains our hormones that regulate hunger and satiety, and begins to take us out of touch with the sincere needs of our systems. The delicate balance of hormones that governs our system is something that must be listened to and balanced with high quality water. 

By frequently hydrating with clean and pure Penta, we have the ability to uplift our mood and to adequately support our focus and mental strength. Recognizing the power of active and deliberate hydration is the foundation for a vibrant daily life.
