Make sure to stay hydrated during the hottest time of the year!💧 Without water, the brain can't get enough of the amino acid tryptophan needed to create serotonin, also known as the "feel good" chemical. That's a big problem because serotonin is the neurotransmitter that regulates mood! Refresh your brain by simply drinking at least 8 ounce glasses of water a day for self-care. #SelfCare #StayHydrated
