Brain Bites

If your thinking, you’re drinking……Water

A salmon swimming upstream, when confronted with a waterfall, swims in circles at the base of the falling water. This helps the fish absorb the electrical charge created by the falling water and ultimately facilitates its miraculous leap up the waterfall. If electrolytes can do this for a fish, just think what they can do for your brain!

For most people it doesn’t seem easy to remember to consistently drink enough water on a daily basis. Water ensures efficient electrical and chemical actions between the brain, nervous system and sensory organs can take place. It is essential for the proper use of protein in the body and for the development of the nerve network during learning. Perhaps if enough people knew this key information, it would cause reconsideration of the value and importance of water on our daily performance in the classroom, workplace and life. We really can’t afford to forget to drink up.

Water is to our body, as gas is to our car, necessary to its functioning, yet we act as if we can do without it. No one would ever consider driving their car to a particular destination without the proper amount of fuel, yet we let our bodies run on empty a lot of the time! More...

Testimonial of the Month

"Recently we had Jill Hewlett of Brain Works Global presenting a Brain Gym training session at our school. The session was an informative and practical introduction to Brain Gym and offered participants the opportunity to try out the movements. We all had a wonderful, learning experience and many teachers are now using the strategies with their students. Remember: Thinking is Drinking!"
