Drinking just 500 ml of water at breakfast improved judgement and decision-making in ways that were not explained by differences in subjective thirst or attentiveness. https://t.co/LxMFOkmd63

It's interesting to see all those recent studies confirm conventional advice such as "sleep", "hydrate" or "walk", measuring the actual pros and cons of doing or not doing so. Simple, yet makes you really remember about the importance of the little stuff https://t.co/eByeVfdLWk

Have you ever noticed that lack of water decreases capacity for decision making? I find every task/choice to be more overwhelming when I'm dehydrated or deprived of sleep. Turns out, that's science! https://t.co/BnT1XSGsI5.

For one of my classes at #ASU, I am writing a research review paper about the importance of staying hydrated. It's truly fascinating how drinking water can have such a great impact on memory and mood. This is a great study! https://t.co/MY0Apt4fWn
