How does water support student cognitive function?
Water is essential to all beings and greatly affects how the human brain functions, mostly in children. Multiple studies show that water impacts a students cognitive function particularly in the classroom. A lack of water hinders there ability to pay attention, and to properly absorb information. Students are not drinking water because they often fear the safety of the water, water isn’t accessibly offered in their schools, or often time they prefer other beverages like soft drinks . So how do we encourage them to drink water? Make it more easily accessible, make it fun by adding fruit, and make an emphasis on it are a simple few options out of many.
