Thirsty people feel more pain

An interesting study is being carried out by a team at Melbourne’s (Australia) Howard Florey Institute, in which the plasticity of pain responses is being assessed. Their latest findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, indicate that pain is increased at times of mild thirst (if you’re wondering, thumbscrews and a saline solution).

Think I’ll skip the thumbscrews, but it is another reason to drink plenty of water both during and after workouts.
