Cortisol Water Hack

The “viral cortisol water hack” appears to be a popular trend that has gained attention online. This hack typically involves drinking a specific type of water or infused water to help lower cortisol levels and manage stress. I have been playing with ways to help reduce cortisol damage myself and here are some common practices to try:
Common Cortisol-Lowering Water Hacks
Lemon Water:
-
- How it works: Lemon is rich in vitamin C, which can help reduce cortisol levels and support the immune system.
- How to make it: Squeeze half a lemon into a glass of warm or cold water and drink it in the morning.
Herbal Infused Water:
-
- How it works: Infusing water with herbs known for their stress-reducing properties, such as mint or basil, can help lower cortisol levels.
- How to make it: Add fresh mint leaves or basil to a jug of water and let it steep for a few hours before drinking.
Cucumber and Mint Water:
-
- How it works: Cucumber helps with hydration and mint has calming effects.
- How to make it: Slice a cucumber and add it to a jug of water with fresh mint leaves. Let it infuse for a few hours before drinking.
Ginger and Turmeric Water:
-
- How it works: Both ginger and turmeric have anti-inflammatory properties that can help manage stress.
- How to make it: Add a few slices of fresh ginger and a pinch of turmeric powder to a jug of water. Let it steep for a few hours before drinking.
Apple Cider Vinegar Water:
-
- How it works: Apple cider vinegar may help stabilize blood sugar levels, which can influence cortisol production.
- How to make it: Add 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to a glass of water and drink it before meals.
General Benefits
-
- Hydration: Staying hydrated is essential for overall health and can help manage stress levels.
- Vitamins and Minerals: Infusing water with fruits and herbs can add beneficial vitamins and minerals.
- Natural Flavors: These hacks make water more palatable, encouraging you to drink more throughout the day.
While these hacks can be part of a healthy lifestyle, it’s essential to address overall stress management through a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and mindfulness practices. If you have any health conditions or are taking medications, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare provider before making significant changes to your diet or health routines.
