Why do we feel dumber when we're sick? Maybe it's just me.

Because your brain does not function properly when you are sick. All of your electrolytes etc go to help cure the body parts that are sick.

That makes sense. Thanks.

Hey, you are welcome ;). You seem to have a very inquisitive mind :D, anything I can do to help expand it just let me know. I have got to get on to bed now, had a very stressful day (a big exam), but please do not hesitate to continue to ask your questions. You may have a very bright future in the medical field ;).

Thanks and I know! I should be getting on to bed as well. Quick question: I heard oranges can stimulate the brain. What is it about them that helps stimulates the brain?

Ummm, that is a whole different subject acutally. Why don't we get into it tomorrow, but you are right, it does.

I look forward to talking to you tomorrow.

OK. I'm ready to hear it.
