Growing up we heard it often - “Make sure you are drinking enough water.” Even though we know our bodies are made mostly of water we still somehow manage to miss out on proper hydration. We know we should drink more water...but do we know what happens to our bodies when we don’t?

According to a 2013 study performed by University of East London, maintaining adequate hydration levels can increase your productivity by 14%! 

In fact, drinking the recommended amount of water each day can have a substantial effect on your overall mental and physical health. But without adequate water you will be faced with fatigue, difficulty sleeping, stress and anxiety, headaches, cramps, and even a lowered immune system. 

Water provides constant electrical energy to your brain which helps you think and react faster. That’s why staying hydrated is vital in keeping your brain functioning at lightning speed. Even a case of mild dehydration can produce a negative impact on your concentration and memory. According to Dr. Brenda Davy,“we have learned that even mild dehydration – a body water loss of 1–2% - can impair cognitive abilities.” If you often catch yourself at work or school staring at the same thing for far too long, dehydration could be the cause of your mid-afternoon brain fog! 

Not to worry, the solution is easy and tasty too! If you aren’t earning a gold star in hydration take a look at Cirkul!
