cognitive performance

Hydration and nutrition play a crucial role in maintaining focus, energy and decision-making at work. Research shows that even mild dehydration or missed meals can reduce concentration and increase fatigue, potentially affecting performance in demanding environments.

Burnout is often described as emotional exhaustion, but research increasingly shows that its effects go deeper than how we feel. Prolonged workplace stress can influence the brain systems responsible for attention, memory and cognitive control, altering how effectively we process information and maintain focus.

Emerging evidence from psychology and neuroscience shows that the nature of our work can significantly influence how our brains age.
