Water Works

a little note on the impact of dehydration on the brain. IT IS THE WORST.

funny thing is, that you probably don’t even realize what dehydration is doing to you.

here we go with the SCIENCE part:

your BRAIN is 85% water! 

your brain is made up of NEURONS

neurons transmit ELECTRICAL signals to each other

water CONDUCTS electricity

see the relationship starting to form?

for the sake of time and energy, i have posted a couple easy to read articles and videos on how and why your brain needs water. check my blog.

what are the symptoms of DEHYDRATION?

i’m not talking about severe dehydration...i’m talking the everyday dehydration that most of us have unknowingly imposed upon ourselves, without TBI.

headache*

dizziness*

thirst/hunger

irritability*

dark coloured pee pee

constipation

dry skin

okay so if you are like me, a TBI can already come with a few* of the above symptoms. on top of those i find the following can also be accentuate with dehydration:

decreased concentration

decreased mental awareness

brian fogginess

fatigue

feeling slowed down

more memory issues

moral of the story is that WATER IS YOUR NEW BFF. yes you will probably pee more often, but it’s worth it.

here are some of the rules i follow:

drink HALF of your body weight in OUNCES, or

drink 2 LITRES of water per day 

drink a GLASS of H2O upon waking up (helps me with alertness)

for EVERY glass of ALCOHOL, drink its equivalent in water (but don’t drink too much or at all if you can help it)

drink A LOT of WATER after eating anything with REFINED SUGAR

don’t CHUG water. small sips throughout the day is key to ABSORPTION

EAT lots of leafy green and fruit, they contain a lot of water

carry around a reusable water BOTTLE, fill it up whenever you can

water actually works. simple but true.

Reality; noises stall me. It is still very much a #postconcussion issue I struggle with. Goal: paint walls... Not sure how my brain will actually do in cognitive process and if instead of painting I will do cognitive function elsewhere.
