Writer's Saudi Arabia Trip: Water Intake Boosts Focus, Eases Menopause Symptoms
A female writer, after visiting Saudi Arabia and witnessing firsthand the evolving human rights landscape, particularly for women, shares her personal experience with improved focus and menopausal symptom management through increased water intake.
The writer noticed a significant improvement in her concentration within just a couple of weeks after increasing her water consumption. This is not surprising, given that the human brain is composed of approximately 73% water. Staying hydrated is crucial for optimal brain function, including focus and cognition. The writer adopted a simple strategy of spacing out her water intake into regular intervals throughout the day.
In addition to improved focus, the writer also experienced a reduction in hot flushes, a common symptom of menopause. Dehydration can exacerbate such symptoms, but staying hydrated can help manage them. To challenge herself, the writer decided to drink over half a gallon of water a day, using her friend's XXL 68 oz water bottle, 'The Guzzler', from SHO. Within two weeks, she noticed her skin looked plumper and healthier. To make her water more appealing, she added fresh lime wedges or sliced cucumber for flavor.
The writer's journey in Saudi Arabia and her personal experience with increased water intake highlight the importance of hydration for both mental clarity and physical well-being, particularly during menopause. By staying hydrated, she was able to improve her focus and manage her symptoms more effectively.
