Healthy Travel Tips: Staying Hydrated While Traveling

Description

When you're getting ready for a trip, staying hydrated while traveling might not be on your radar — but it should be. Air travel can be surprisingly dehydrating, setting you up for possible effects of mild dehydration, such as headaches, dizziness and fatigue, before you even arrive at your destination. Not getting enough fluids can interfere with short-term memory, attention and mood, too.

How Are Exercise and Gut Health Related?

Description

Whether you're an amateur athlete or a weekend warrior, it's likely you put thought into your workout schedule. You train your muscles for strength and endurance, and you may think about cardiovascular fitness as well. But have you thought about how exercise may impact your gut health and vice versa? Researchers are learning more and more about gut microbiota — the bacteria that live in the gastrointestinal tract — and how it can help support physical performance.

Optimizing Hydration for Athletes

Description

Water makes up two-thirds of the body's composition, and one way that humans lose water is through sweat, which is amplified during exercise. Sweat is more than just water. It also includes electrolytes, such as sodium, chloride, magnesium and potassium. These electrolytes help the body retain fluid, making them a crucial part of hydration for athletes.

How Nutrition Fuels the Bodies, Brains of the U.S. Air Force

Description

Everyone needs a sharp mind and a healthy body to perform their best. That's especially true of the men and women who serve in the United States Air Force (USAF).

That's why the Center for Nutrition, Learning, and Memory (CNLM) — a pioneering research partnership between Abbott and the University of Illinois — is collaborating on a multi-year study with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to examine the connection between nutrition and brain performance. They're interested in how nutrition affects the brain and in how exercise and nutrition can help improve airmen's cognitive function—attention, focus and decision-making abilities— as well as physical endurance. And while the study is focused on individuals serving in the armed forces, this nutrition research stands to benefit everyone.
