Doctor, warn! Drink little water. Risk!...Quick dementia

Many focus on supplements, sleep, or exercise.

But there is a very basic thing that most people make mistakes every day: not drinking enough water.

We have 60% water.

And the "brain" is a very high water-consuming organ.

If you drink less water, what happens?

- The brain slows down.

- Worse memory, insensitive thinking.

- Concentration drops like a blur all day.

- Increased risk of inflammation in the brain.

Research has shown that "little dehydration" affects brain performance.

Especially people who use their ideas or play mobile / screen all day.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว ผมพบว่าการดื่มน้ำให้เพียงพอมีผลอย่างมากต่อการทำงานของสมองและความรู้สึกสดชื่น ทั้งนี้เพราะสมองประกอบด้วยน้ำเป็นส่วนใหญ่ ถึง 60% การขาดน้ำแม้เพียงเล็กน้อยก็สามารถทำให้สมองทำงานช้าลง ความจำสั้นลง และมีความรู้สึกเบลอๆ แตกต่างจากวันที่ดื่มน้ำเพียงพออย่างเห็นได้ชัด ผมแนะนำให้เริ่มต้นด้วยการพกขวดน้ำติดตัวตลอดวัน และตั้งเตือนให้ดื่มน้ำเป็นประจำ เช่น ทุกๆ 1 ชั่วโมง เพื่อป้องกันการขาดน้ำโดยไม่รู้ตัว โดยเฉพาะในผู้สูงอายุที่อาจไม่ได้รู้สึกกระหายน้ำเหมือนคนหนุ่มสาว นอกจากการดื่มน้ำให้เพียงพอแล้ว การเลือกน้ำสะอาด ปราศจากสารปนเปื้อนก็นับว่ามีความสำคัญ เพราะน้ำที่ดีจะช่วยบำรุงสมองและระบบประสาทให้ทำงานเต็มประสิทธิภาพ นอกจากนี้ ควรหลีกเลี่ยงการดื่มน้ำมากเกินไปในช่วงสั้นๆ เพราะอาจทำให้สมดุลน้ำในร่างกายผิดปกติ ผู้ที่ใช้สมองหนักๆ เช่น นักเรียน นักศึกษา หรือพนักงานที่ใช้หน้าจอคอมพิวเตอร์ตลอดเวลา ควรหยุดพักสายตาพร้อมดื่มน้ำอย่างสม่ำเสมอ เพื่อช่วยลดอาการตาล้าและเพิ่มความสามารถในการคิดวิเคราะห์ สุดท้ายนี้ การรู้จักฟังร่างกายและสังเกตสัญญาณของความกระหายน้ำ คือการป้องกันและดูแลสมองอย่างง่ายและได้ผล การดูแลตัวเองด้วยน้ำเปล่าที่เพียงพอเชื่อมโยงโดยตรงกับสุขภาพสมองที่ดีและช่วยลดความเสี่ยงของโรคสมองเสื่อมในอนาคตได้อย่างชัดเจน
