"I know it&amp;#x27;s Friday and all, but there&amp;#x27;s still the remote chance you might have started your day with a black cloud over your head. You&amp;#x27;re tired--already. Maybe you had a terrible meeting that was just... terrible (you know the kind) and it made the situation even worse. If your disposition is less than sunny, try this trick... Pour yourself a big glass of water. According to a new study in the Journal of Nutrition, women&amp;#x27;s bad moods, feelings of fatigue, and lack of focus may be due to dehydration. In the study, women were either given enough fluids to stay hydrated, or were induced into a very mild state of dehydration (using both exercise and a diuretic) and had their cognitive abilities and moods tested along the way. When they were slightly dehydrated, they reported bad moods, tiredness, less focus, and headache. So it&amp;#x27;s a worth a try, right? Go get a glass of water if you&amp;#x27;re feeling down. Do you make it a point to drink water every day? How much? And what&amp;#x27;s your trick to alleviate the blahs?
