Signs You May Not Be Drinking Enough Water

Tweet

I always worry that people aren't getting enough water. Dehydration is a deadly thing and can come on quickly usually with dizziness and nausea. Here are a few things to keep in mind so you are sure to get enough: *The brain is made up of mostly water. If find yourself getting chronic headaches that seem to never end it could be because of a lack of water. Dizziness can also be caused from a water lack in the brain. *Sometimes the body mistakes hunger for thirst. It's a good idea, especially if you are trying to diet, to drink a glass of water first before reaching for a snack. *Your blood pressure generally should fall around 120 over 80. If it is higher than normal you might try drinking some water and wait a while. * If you are having a rash of real dry skin it may be because of a lack of water and not the weather. Put on some moisturizer and drink some water and it should be better in a day or two. *Your urine is supposed to be a pale yellow, almost clear. If it is bright yellow it may mean you are not drinking enough water. *Your body may also tell you you are thirsty by making you sleepy at strange times during the day. Your brain can't focus well without water. * Try drinking a glass of water when you get thirsty instead of coffee, tea or pop. None of the before mentioned takes the place of water in your body. Every organ needs it.
