Our bodies are mostly water, and need consistent hydration to be at their best! What are the signs of dehydration and how do we avoid it?

Sometimes it's hard for your brain to tell. 3: In between meals 4: Before and after exercise. (It just makes sense.) 5: When you're tired. Maybe that go-to cup of coffee should actually be water. 6: Two hours before you sleep. Hydrate your body, but also try to avoid the half-asleep stumble to the bathroom.

Magnesium is a vital mineral essential for numerous bodily functions, including nerve function and energy production. Low magnesium levels can lead to hypomagnesemia, causing symptoms like muscle cramps, fatigue, and increased risk of chronic diseases such as osteoporosis and diabetes. It is particularly important in managing metabolic syndrome, as it helps regulate blood sugar and blood pressure. To boost magnesium intake, individuals should incorporate magnesium-rich foods into their diet or consider supplements if dietary sources are insufficient.

It is a technical network that works independently of the brain and controls its own reflexes and senses. Information and signals are passed through the complex network of neurons to coordinate efforts and move food through the digestive system.
