Health Awareness
WHY YOUR BRAIN NEEDS WATER?
DID YOU KNOW…….
80% of your brain is water making it squishy, pink and jelly-like.
Water plays a vital role in every function of your body. Particularly, water consumption and brain functions are integrally connected. Over 60% of the adult human body is composed of water and every system in the body is dependent on proper hydration – including the activities of the brain and nervous system.
- Brain cells require a delicate balance between water and various elements to operate, when you lose too much water, that balance gets disrupted and may cause your brain cells to lose efficiency.
- Drinking water can improve one’s brain health by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the brain – which improves concentration and cognition, this helps balance moods and emotions, reducing stress and headaches.
- The brain is approximately 80% water and is one of the most important organs in your body to keep hydrated.
- Brain cells need two times more energy than other body cells and water provides this energy more effectively than any other substance.
- When your brain functions on a full reserve of water – you will be able to think faster, stay focused and experience better clarity and creativity.
Drink more water, stay hydrated and stay refreshed!
Thank you to Refresha Trading for this informative article.

Hatz By Jeanie
I am Jeanie Nel, the owner and founder of HATZ BY JEANIE, an award-winning milliner (person that makes hats), businesswomen and entrepreneur. I design, and handmake, bespoke and couture, high quality headgear for clients to match their outfits and personalities for special events like weddings, Beauty Pageants, Church, Fashion Shows, Durban July, and Theater productions. My work on the runway is mostly seen in collaboration with local designers who makes the garments and I make the matching hats.
A company that I did work for: Kickstart Theatre Productions
I have been making the hats for all their theatre productions since 2013. “SHREK” toured to Gold Reef City and won the award for best costume in 2017. In 2014 I was commissioned to go to Dundee to further equip 8 Fashion designer Students with hat making skills.
Clients include Yvonne ChakaChaka, Brenda Mhlongo, Nonku Williams, Various Mrs South Africa’s, and Margaret Hirsch
I often collaborate with fashion designers for fashion shows … they make the garments and I make the hats

THE KIP DIFFERENCE
We’re one of the largest providers of tutoring delivered by qualified teachers globally. We teach over one million lessons annually. For over 45 years we have tutored students using explicit instruction that works. Kip Umhlanga was opened in 2006 by Tracy-Lee Galloway. Here, we have averaged 150 students every week and every student receives a tailored learning programme.
Quality lessons are at the core of what we do. All our lessons are carefully planned and delivered face to face with the same tutor each week, either in one of our centres or via our purpose-built online tutoring platform.
Unlike self-led online lessons, the benefit of live, face-to-face online lessons is that they allow our professional tutors to interact and teach in real-time. Every minute of every lesson is focused on achieving the student’s goal.
In line with our method, all our lessons are a fun and interactive experience – whether they’re in grade R or Year 12. During each lesson, the teacher tracks and monitors a student’s progress against their goals, adjusting the level and focus where necessary.
Most importantly, what makes us stand out from others is that we genuinely care about our students and the work we do. We’re committed to helping students reach their highest potential, throughout their schooling beyond.
