By: Elizabeth Katsion, Student Nutritionist According to a recent study from Harvard University, inadequate hydration is leading to impaired cognitive function. In plain terms this means that by not drinking enough water, your brain is not performing at its highest capacity. The study focused on children and adolescents from 6 to 19 years old, which encompasses at least some freshman and sophomore students in college. With finals week coming up, it is crucial to have healthy minds and bodies ready to conquer whatever our professors throw our way. As you study these next couple weeks, be sure to consume plenty of good, old-fashioned plain water to supply your body the hydration it needs. Your test scores will thank you later!
