 The research was done by Georgia Institute of Technology, Mindy Millard-Stafford, a professor said, "The simplest reaction time tasks were least impacted, even as dehydration got worse, but tasks that require attention were quite impacted,", he continued, "Maintaining focus in a long meeting, driving a car, a monotonous job in a hot factory that requires you to stay alert are some of them," said Millard-Stafford. "Higher-order functions like doing math or applying logic also dropped off." He also added, "There's already a lot of quantitative documentation that if you lose 2 percent in water it affects physical abilities like muscle endurance or sports tasks and your ability to regulate your body temperature,". "We wanted to see if that was similar for cognitive function.", Millard-Stafford explained.

 Millard-Stafford also warned about to much intake of water also not good for the human health. Millard-Stafford added, "You can have too much water, something called hyponatremia," and continued, "Some people overly aggressively, out of a fear of dehydration, drink so much water that they dilute their blood and their brain swells."
