More than just 1.5 or 3 liters?: This is actually the amount of water we should drink every day

For many of us, work stresses and drains us; This is shown, for example, in Health Promotion Switzerland’s work stress index. Accordingly, one in every three employees in a company feels emotionally exhausted, and more than one in four people has a work stress index in the critical range.

A business trap with no way out; creating healthy routines, for example in the areas of nutrition, exercise and rest. These form the necessary basis for an optimal physical and mental state and therefore the basis for a successful working day. They also enable us to develop greater control and composure, and therefore greater endurance. The regularity and predictability of the daily routine means that the body and mind can adapt to familiar routines. This helps reduce stress.

Water tracker: Drink a glass every hour

Healthcare provider Virtusan has now developed such useful routines to implement in collaboration with renowned US scientists. These allow us to be more productive with the help of simple exercises. This morning starts with a glass of tap water. “Drinking enough water activates your metabolism and improves your performance,” says Virtusan water tracking application.

In fact, adequate fluid intake has many beneficial effects. In addition to what has already been mentioned, it also helps maintain energy levels. Because: Dehydration can cause fatigue, poor concentration and decreased cognitive abilities. Drinking enough water is essential for the proper functioning of organs, as well as for physiological functions such as transporting nutrients or regulating temperature. Last but not least, adequate hydration is good for the skin.

So how much water is enough? For Virtusan, this means a lot: 16 glasses of 2 deciliters each is the target; Therefore, we should drink a glass of water (or unsweetened tea) every hour. A value that other studies have established more deeply. A new study conducted in Japan reveals that 8 glasses is sufficient, as water enters the organism through a healthy diet consisting of plenty of fruits and vegetables.

According to Marc Hautle, Chief Revenue Officer at healthcare provider Virtusan, it’s clear that we really need hydration across the board for optimal performance. Hautle says Virtusan expert nutritionist Christopher Gabriel’s recommendation is a total of 3.2 liters per day. “We have reduced this amount to a single dose of 2 decilitres that is easy for users to remember, resulting in approximately one glass per hour.”

Virtusan water tracker can help you incorporate regular hydration into your daily routine as well as other exercises for greater concentration, better sleep and less stress. Below we will show you what they are and how they work.

The first exercise of the day signals to the internal clock that the day has begun and that the production of the fatigue-causing hormone melatonin may be reduced. You can do this as part of a short walk or by watching the sunrise on your terrace or balcony. The method also works in daylight only if the sun is not shining. The effect is the same: When activated, the internal clock automatically switches to night after 16 hours.

Now it is time to increase the hydration of the organism. To start, we recommend adding a glass of not too cold water and some lemon juice if you wish. The water tracker helps provide enough fluid to the body even in the office.

Pure stress – everything comes at once again. For example, physiological sighing helps here. The way it works is you first take a long, long, deep breath in through your nose, and then try to get some more air into your lungs by taking a second, very short breath out through your nose. Then exhale very slowly through your mouth. A very quick exercise to calm down during acute stress.

For example, binaural tones can help you recover from a mid-day slump. This is a sound therapy exercise used to promote concentration and focus. These tones consist of binaural beats of 40 Hz, a vibration frequency that stimulates the brain to enter a state of heightened alertness and concentration.

Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman is the inventor of the relaxation technique Sleepless Deep Rest (NSDR for short). This mix of napping and meditation can lead to deep relaxation without actually sleeping. In this way, we can overcome the afternoon fatigue crisis. The method is suitable for any time of the day.

Healthy routines of the workday continue at home. This is primarily about relaxation. The app lists various ways to meditate, including mindfulness meditation. A soothing voice guides you through this 10-minute exercise that can reduce stress, improve sleep and increase feelings of happiness.

A body scan before falling asleep can help us sleep more deeply and therefore more restfully. It is a kind of journey through the body that helps you perceive yourself, thereby encouraging relaxation and suppressing the sometimes torturous carousel of thoughts.
