10 Signs
Dehydration of the Body
Dehydration is a dangerous condition that can lead to the development of serious diseases. There are many different signs that you are drinking too little water.
There is an accepted unified water consumption rate - not less than two liters per day. It is necessary to be guided by this figure, but it is the “average temperature in the hospital”.
But there is a more accurate way - listen to your body. In case of any deviations from the norm, he immediately signals this to us, we just need to learn to understand these signals.
Below we present the most common signs by which our body signals to us that it is time to restore water balance and drink water.
1. You are thirsty.
Remember one rule: if you are thirsty, then you are already late and missed the moment when you had to take a few sips of water. Try not to bring it to this point, when the body already explicitly demands "I want to drink." Learn to drink a little earlier.
2. Darkening of urine.
Another surefire way to know if you are drinking enough water. Water must be drunk so much that the urine is light yellow, straw color. Darkening of the urine, as well as a decrease in its volume, indicate dehydration.
3. Dry mouth.
A persistent dry mouth is the surest sign of dehydration. At the same time, dry mouth should not be fought with the help of sweet soda, tea or coffee. Your body needs water.
4. Dry skin.
As you know, the skin is a mirror of the body, which displays everything that happens inside. Excessive dryness of the skin is most likely due to the fact that you are not drinking enough water. Dry skin loses its elasticity, wrinkles are more clearly visible on it.
Girls, remember, water is the best beautician!
5. Dry eyes.
When the body is dehydrated, the lacrimal canals dry out. In this case, the person experiences a slight itching, as if sand had got into the eyes. People who wear contact lenses should be especially alert to this symptom.
6. Chronic fatigue.
The lack of oxygen that occurs with dehydration leads to chronic fatigue and constant sleepiness. As a rule, with insufficient water intake, a person does not get enough sleep even after eight hours of sleep.
7. Increased heart rate.
With insufficient water intake, the blood becomes viscous. It becomes very difficult for the heart to pump it through itself and distribute it throughout the body, and the organs are deficient in oxygen. As a result, the heart receives a double workload.
8. Joint pain.
Constant water shortages can lead to joint pain. And all because cartilage is almost 80% water. With constant dehydration, joints begin to squeak.
9. Problems with digestion.
Maintaining optimal levels of mucus in the gastrointestinal tract is essential for normal digestion. For example, if the mucus is not moistened, then it leads to a decrease in its amount in the stomach, which is why the gastric juice damages its walls.
10. Decrease in muscle mass.
Sports doctors and trainers recommend that you always drink water during exercise. Muscles are approximately 50-60% water, and when dehydrated, the volume of muscle fibers decreases.
