Hydration and Brain Function
The brain is said to be made up of between 70- 80% water, and this nutrient is considered by leading health experts as one of the healthiest things that we can balance concerning our diet and brain function. The opposite of hydration is dehydration, which can increase stress hormones that can damage the brain and impair both memory and the brain's decision-making ability. To be on the safe side discuss this important nutrient with your doctor and be sure to tell him specifics, such as the medications that you take, your current weight, and how physically and mentally active you are within an average day. He can recommend the optimal water intake for you to support your lifestyle and current activity level.
