Brain-imaging specialist and assistant clinical professor of psychiatry and human behavior at the Un. of Cal. Irvine, School of Medicine, Daniel G Amen, MD reminds us to drink half our body weight in water onces every day.
Dehydration increases our stress hormones which interfers with our cognitive abilities and will cause memory recall delay. Alcohol and coffee are dehydrating fluids so limit intake while increasing intake of pure water and low calorie juices.
If you weigh 150 lbs. it's best to drink 75 onces of water a day. Fill a pitcher in the morning to easily keep track of your intake.
Professional help for mature adults and their caring but exhausted families.
