BOLT IOT Hydration Reminder

Drinking enough water, or staying hydrated, is the first rule of health and nutrition. Our bodies can supposedly last weeks without food and yet just a few days without water. This makes sense when you think that our bodies are made up of about 60% water and that being dehydrated can begin to affect us both physically and mentally.

Our brain cells operate normally when they have the proper amounts of water. Brains require a constant flow of the liquid to carry out every conscious function, including short-term and long-term memory retention. So, if we deprive our brains of water, our cells cannot function, which in turn affects the brain’s ability to maintain concentration.

A lack of ability to focus, increased fatigue and ‘brain fog’, sleep issues and headaches are all intrinsically linked to reduced intake of water.A recent study by the University of East London and the University of Westminster found that drinking just 300ml of water can boost attention by up to 25%.

But most of the times we forget about this, but this project using bolt wifi module will help us remind to take water every few hours.
