Awkward Moments Day: Embarrassing moments happen – today is the day to celebrate them.
How much water do you drink in a day? None? Do you get close to the recommended amount? Do you even know the recommended amount? The “rule” seems to be half your body weight in ounces — more if you’re working out, at high-altitude, or if it’s hot and you’re spending time outdoors. (U.S.News & World Report)
Well, a new survey by Essencia Water reveals that most people are not getting enough water every day; in fact, only 37% even drink water daily. The result? We’re dehydrated. Seems many people are suffering the symptoms of dehydration – headaches, muscle cramps, and dizziness – and don’t even know it. And when they feel those symptoms, instead of reaching for water, they reach for over-the-counter pain relievers. The reason most people don’t drink enough water? According to the survey, they say they forget. (SWNS).
If that sounds like you and you want to drink more water, there are plenty of apps that can remind you. (Healthline)
If you were given $30,000, would you spend it on a wedding or on a down-payment for a house? That’s the premise of Netflix’s new reality series, Marriage or Mortgage. Two hosts, a real estate agent and an event planner, try to persuade couples to spend that 30K on either a fancy wedding or a down-payment on a house. While for many, it would seem like a no-brainer to use the money for a house, plenty of couples are making the choice to spend their budget on an extravagant wedding. (BuzzFeed)
It’s time to start taking more breaks at work. A LOT more breaks.
A new study from North Carolina State University found you’ll have more energy and actually be better at your job if you start taking lots of “microbreaks” . . . which are each just around five minutes long.
Quote, “It’s in a company’s best interest to give employees autonomy in terms of taking microbreaks when they’re needed.” So start taking lots of five-minute breaks, and if you get called out by your boss, say you’re slacking off FOR the company.
