Cognitive functionElderlyBackgroundAgeing is inevitably associated with a progressive cognitive decline. With the rising percentage of the elderly in society, the number of people with dementia and cognitive impairment increases. Water is a vital ingredient that must be included in the diet. The ...
Although adequate hydration is essential for optimal brain function, research addressing relationships between hydration status and human behavior and cognitive function is limited. The few published studies in this area are inconclusive and contradictory. The impact of variations in hydration status, which...

The secondary aims were to assess the relation between hydration status and cognitive function. This prospective cohort study was conducted on nurses and doctors working on medical and surgical admissions wards at a university teaching hospital. Participants arrived on the ward approximately 20 min ...
More than half of all children and adolescents in the United States are under-hydrated—probably because they're not drinking enough water—and that could have significant repercussions for their physical health and cognitive and emotional functioning, according to the first national study of its kind...
According to studies losing just 2% of your body mass to dehydration affects your physical performance and cognitive function. The brain is sensitive to changes in the concentration of sodium and potassium ions in your body. When your brain is dehydrated, the cells shrink. This can affect your ...
When athletes exercise, they lose fluids through sweat. If they do not replace these fluids, they can become dehydrated, which can lead to a variety of negative effects on their performance. Dehydration can cause muscle cramps, fatigue, reduced endurance, and impaired cognitive function. It can ...
Researchers at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University studied the effects of water balance and cognitive function. Theydiscoveredthat mild dehydration — as little as losing 1 percent to 2 percent of body water — can impair cognitive performance. This is in contrast to the previously he...
In our fast-paced world, maintaining proper hydration is more crucial than ever. Water is not just vital for survival; it plays a significant role in enhancing physical performance, cognitive function, and overall health. Despite our busy lifestyles, having a reliable hydration solution on hand ca...
