If you are at all linked in to any kind of media then you will know by now that water is vital to human health, and even to human existence. If there was no water on earth then the human race would not be able to exist here.
Water is just as vital to the human body and especially to the human brain, which is made up of around 85% water. Drinking water regularly is very important for optimal brain function as dehydration handicaps our cognitive function and has an extremely negative affect on all neurological functions.
Why is Drinking Water Vital for My Brain?
Dehydration can have staggeringly negative effects on brain functions like visuomotor functions, psychomotor functions, and short-term memory.
When the brain does not get sufficient water it can result in:
- Bad hand-eye coordination
- Delirium
- Disorientation
- Extreme confusion
- Hallucinations
- Inability to focus on reading material or a computer screen
- Inability to think or speak coherently
- Lack of concentration
Have you ever felt totally lethargic, or been so hot that your brain just seems to be in a muddle and you cannot think straight let alone perform any kind of thinking function, especially calculations? This is most probably because you are dehydrated and your brain is sending signals that it needs water – quickly!
The human brain needs water to create the electrical signals it uses to tell the different organs of the body what to do. If your brain cannot send these vital signals your lungs will not know that they have to breathe, your heart will not know that it has to pump, and so on.
The best way to ensure that your brain has all the water it needs to function as it should, on all cylinders, is to start the day off by drinking a nice big glass of water and continuing to drink water as required throughout the day.
If you do not like the taste of tap water or live in an area where the tap water really smells or tastes like chemicals, do yourself a favour and get a water cooler with a filter that can dispense water that smells and tastes so good that you will just want to drink it all the time.
Purchase water coolers online and rent water coolers from Living-Water. Get bottled water coolers and mains water dispensers in London.
