MONDAY, April 23, 2018 -- Older adults, drink up. You need plenty of water during exercise so your brain gets the full benefits of working out, researchers say.
"Middle-age and older adults often display a blunted thirst perception, which places them at risk for dehydration, and subsequently may reduce the cognitive [mental] health-related benefits of exercise," said Brandon Yates, of Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston, and colleagues.
