Have a Headache?

A lot of times people walk around with a terrible headache and can't figure out why.

I have learned that one of the most common signs of dehydration is a headache. Failure to drink enough water can cause your brain to shrink. Research shows that dehydration not only affects the size of the brain but also how it works, just 90 minutes of steady sweating can make your brain shrink as much as a year of ageing. The good news is that after a drink of water the brain will return to normal.

Lack of water also causes the grey matter to work harder to process the same information. Over days and weeks, lack of fluid could impact our performance at work, school and even on exam results.

So if you can, always try to keep a reusable bottle of water around for yourself and children.
