Excess coffee, strong tea or diuretic infusions worsens dehydration and, if you also take blood pressure medication or diuretics, dizziness multiplies.
What to do
- Keep to a simple goal: 6–8 glasses of water a day, spread out.
- For each cup of coffee or tea, try adding a glass of water.
- Have a small bottle in sight: what you see, you drink.
- If you get up a lot at night to go to the bathroom, concentrate most of the water in the morning and afternoon.
Mistake 4: Breathing shallowly and quickly all day
You don’t have to feel “short of breath” to breathe badly.
When you’re focused, worried, or sitting for a long time:
- You breathe short, from the top of your chest,
- the diaphragm hardly moves,

- reduced cerebral oxygenation,
- more cervical tension,
- A feeling of mental cloud and a heavy head.
Balance uses the breath as an internal anchor.
If you breathe heavily and shallowly, the brain interprets disorder and instability.
