White Water Increases Thinking Ability

No doubt some drinks such as green tea, juice or smoothies have health benefits. However, there are also other drinks that can cause problems such as energy drinks.

A number of energy drinks when consumed in large quantities can make the heart beat irregular and make the drinker always feel anxious. Not many realize, water that seems simple actually provides tremendous benefits.

Increasing the consumption of water even affects one's thinking process. In one study, respondents consisting of adults did a test that tested cognitive abilities.

Previously, they were asked to fast for one night. Participants who drank 500 milliliters of water before the test showed cognitive improvement when asked to make a decision.

Previous research has shown how drinking water affects moods when participants are faced with a number of problems. Participants can respond quickly.

While participants who fasted before the test showed a decrease in cognitive function. This is because they are dehydrated. "Even though it is only mild, dehydration can greatly affect work capacity and productivity," said professor Giuseppe Faraco of Weill Cornell Medical College, quoted by Inc.

According to Faraco, mild dehydration can suppress blood flow to the brain. Lack of blood flow to the brain will make a person react slowly, memory weakens and attention is out of focus.

A person experiences mild dehydration if his body fluids are lost by as much as five percent in a short time. In further research, losing one percent of hydration can make a person's productivity level decline by 12 percent.
