The human brain weights as average of three pounds and is approximately 73 percent water. Brain attention, memory and other cognitive skills are affected by as little as a 2 percent drop in hydration.

Read this and it was enlightening so I thought I would share.

Thanks for the reminder, and it's a good one! My goal is always 64 ounces a day, but in the summer I can easily drink more. Staying hydrated is important for many body functions, especially when sick:
