Dehydration at work: signs and brain effects

Dr. Chinmay Kumbhar, consultant neurologist at Manipal Hospitals, Baner, Pune, states the brain is 75% water and requires adequate hydration for normal function, including blood flow and nerve cell communication.

Dehydration reduces oxygen and nutrient delivery to the brain, leading to cognitive symptoms that impair focus, decision-making, and productivity at work.

Seven signs of dehydration include frequent headaches, trouble concentrating, feeling really tired, and feeling dizzy or light-headed.
