Quiet Dehydration May Amplify Cortisol During Stress, Study Finds

A Liverpool John Moores University study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology shows that healthy adults who drink less than 1.5 liters a day have about a 50% higher cortisol rise during a standardized stress test, likely due to vasopressin; thirst signals are unreliable in busy moments, so monitoring urine color and maintaining consistent hydration—around 1.5–2.5 liters daily, adjusted by sex and health—may blunt cortisol spikes and support stress resilience, though hydration doesn’t replace mental health treatment.

Norovirus 101: symptoms, care tips, and stopping its spread

Norovirus is mainly spread through contaminated food or water and typically causes sudden vomiting and diarrhea 12–48 hours after exposure, with dehydration a common risk. There are no antivirals or effective antibiotics; management focuses on rest, plenty of fluids, and gradually reintroducing foods as you feel better (BRAT is a common guideline but not mandatory). Avoid alcohol and dairy if lactose intolerance occurs. Since hand sanitizers are less effective, wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and be aware the virus can remain contagious for up to two weeks, especially for young children, older adults, or immunocompromised individuals.

Insights into Rift Dynamics and Tectonic Plate Strength

A study by Tulane University and international partners reveals that parts of Earth's crust in the East African Rift are stronger and more resistant to breaking apart than previously thought, due to dehydration from a heating event 80 million years ago, which removed water and CO2, making the plates more rigid and less prone to deformation.
