Kick start your focus by drinking more H2O!
Downing a glass of water will dramatically increase alertness, attention span, and concentration within an hour... British Neuroscientists found! Even more interesting, people who drank 40oz. of water before performing an attention test did 30% better compared to those who didn't drink water..This according to the Journal of Appetite.
Scientists say that mild dehydration-even shorting yourself by 2%, or 1.3oz. of the recommended 64oz. daily - hinders the flow of energizing oxygen to cells throughout the brain and body....leaving you feeling groggy.
Kids Benefit Too!!
In a recent study, Children- who are more prone to dehydration than adults- given just 1 cup of water before visual and memory tests scored better and had longer attention spans.
Afetr reading this, I made sure to have my children drink a cup of water before school...especially during the CAT testing this week.
