+<p>It sounds almost trite to say something such ... <em>optimal hydration is the bedrock of cognitive acuity, cardiovascular resilience, and peak physical performance</em> ... of course, it does!</p>
+<p>But, the fact of the matter is that many, maybe most, people sort of treat hydration as a seasonal thing -- hydration discipline sort of has a tendency to drop off the radar or shift to the back burner as change to cooler weather.</p>
+<p>THE PROBLEM is that, even imperceptibly mild dehydration, defined as a body water loss of only just 1–2%, significantly impairs cognitive performance ... BEFORE one notices any physical aspects of being even slightly dehydrated ... the damage from hydration deficits is enough so that the cognitively-challenged brain will struggle that much sooner, the reaction results in getting sleepy or generating more stress, pushing people to things like need an additional nap, sleep less well, find comfort in food or worse, resort to using alcohol to deal with extra stress that comes as people come back from vacation and get serious about projects at work again.</p>
