Did you know that studies have shown that even mild dehydration impairs concentration, memory and mood? Imagine having one thing that could help you focus more, remember things, lift your mood – and takes less than 20 seconds to consume?
Take a drink!
We are mostly made of water – average is about 60% - and the brain has high levels, so ensuring that we all drink enough is key. For adolescents, it is especially important – they are growing, forming muscles, building hormones, exercising – all of these processes require hydration, and remembering to drink enough is key.
How many drinks? Aim for 6-8 glasses, at least 1.5 litres – tea, herbal teas, cold water, sparkling, flavoured with orange or frozen fruits – just take a drink. Regularly.
