How can hydration boost your brain?
Dehydration can cause feelings of lethargy and slow down your system, but it may feel difficult to drink the commonly suggested eight glasses a day, especially when you aren’t used to doing so. Getting started and forming a habit to drink more water each day is scientifically proven to boost overall health and well-being.SCIENCE SAYS:
Water boosts skin health, digestion and brain function, assisting in oxygenating the brain through blood circulation and flushing toxins from the brain and body. Although juice, soda and coffee contain water, sugar and caffeine are both dehydrating, so it’s important to drink plain water too.WAYS TO BEGIN:
- Not just caffeine and sugar! Have a glass of water alongside your fun drink.
- Start the day right by having a glass of water soon after waking up.
- Keep a glass or reusable bottle of water close by while working and running errands.
- Remind yourself to sip water throughout the day rather than waiting until you feel dehydrated.
