Locked Avoid dehydration at Field Day
The brain is made of water and cholesterol. The brain contains 23 percent of all cholesterol in the body. And the brain is approximately 75 percent water. A lack of either of these two things is dangerous — and the relationship between the two is related to overall brain health. As you age — and I am not talking about being 80 years old, but after your 20s — you need to drink more water to compensate for changes in your body temperature regulation. Still, even though almost everyone is dehydrated, most seniors are very dehydrated indeed. That's because our thirst mechanism begins to fade with age. Even people who are seriously dehydrated will not drink water placed in front of them. Avoid dehydration- Drink plenty of water during Field Day. |
