SIGNS OF DEHYDRATION
We all know that water forms almost 2/3rd of our body weight. One can[t live without water for more than 72 hours. Water aids in digestion, maintaining body temperature, lubricating the eyes and joints, helps in taking out toxins from the body in the form of sweat and urine.
Dehydration can cause various problems, as it leads to electrolyte imbalance. Very often, people aren't aware that they're dehydrated. Hence, it is important to know the various signs of dehydration, so that you can quick action to overcome its adverse effects.
1) Unable to concentrate on anything, leading to confusion-Since the human brain is 90 percent water, water deficiency can have a negative impact on a person’s thinking abilities and decision-making skills. Dehydration is shown as forgetfulness, amnesia, difficulty in thinking and communicating. It has been found that dehydration can lead to mood swings.
2) Headaches- it is one of the most common symptom of dehydration, as it leads to less fluids around the brain. That fluid is essential as it acts as a buffer to protect the brain from shocks. It can cause migraines, irritation headaches, due to reduced flow of oxygen and blood to the brain.
3) Dry mouth, which leads to bad breath- Due to less water in the body, one can't produce enough saliva, which has anti-bacterial properties. The lack of saliva leads to bad breath. Hence, remember, dry mouth is an important sign of dehydration. Water is a lubricant which keeps the mucous membranes hydrated.
4) Craving for food suddenly- People often think they're hungry, when actually they're thirsty and tend to over-eat. But, actually, a glass of water or two is what we actually need at that time.
5) Digestive problems, mainly constipation- Water is needed to hydrate all the tissues in the body. It helps to keep our gastro-intestinal tract clean by regulating our bowel movement, this preventing constipation.
6) Less urination- If one doesn't feel the urge to urinate after every few hours, it means that one is dehydrated. It also makes the urine darker in colour and at times, burning sensation while passing urine.It is a clear sign that we need to gulp down some water at once.
