09.01.2022 [2-3% DEHYDRATION AFFECTS YOUR BRAIN FUNCTION] We all hear that we should drink 8 glasses of water a day to help stay healthy. 1 of the reasons why is for our brain health.... The body contains around 60% water. Every cell in our body, including our brain cells, rely on water to perform their essential tasks. If you are dehydrated, our brain cells can not function properly and this leads to cogntive decline. In a study on dehydration in adults, the brains of dehydrated adults show signs of increased neuronal activation when performing cognitively engaging tasks. This indicated that their brains are working harder than normal to complete the task [1]. Another study showed that dehydration of only 1.36% in females degraded mood, increased perception of task difficulty, lowered concentration, and they had headache symptoms [2].

01.01.2022 [ GUT HEALTH ] The microbiome is the bacteria in your gut. We want more good bacteria than bad. The good bacteria contribute to the break down of foods, absorption, secretions and can even help with your mood via the gut-brain connection. The bad bacteria do the opposite. They LOVE sugar and can even signal to your brain via the gut-brain axis to eat more sugar- que your sugar cravings. They aim to dominate the gut to control it for self gain and this often has a negative ef...fect on your health. Things that contribute to helping the bad bacteria grow are stress lack of sleep sugar poor food choices lack of exercise so generally not looking after yourself Gut health is so integral to the way we feel.
