Mindful Sips

The book dismantles myths like the eight-glasses rule, using neuroscience to explain dehydration’s subtle impacts on stress and focus. Its unique strength lies in merging mindfulness practices—such as breath-aligned sipping or the RAIN technique for recognizing thirst cues—with biochemistry insights about water’s role in neurotransmitter production. Chapters progress from scientific foundations to practical tools: hydration journals, flavor fasting to reset taste buds, and workplace strategies. Drawing from anthropology and behavioral psychology, Mindful Sips positions mindful drinking as both a personal reset and cultural shift, proving that even small sips can anchor us in the present while fueling vitality.
