7 Signs of Dehydration

Did you know 95% of the US population suffers from dehydration? 

Dehydration happens when your body does not have enough water intake to properly function.

 Some of the signs you might see when your body needs more water:

Dry Skin:  Our skin is one of the first things affected from dehydration. As your body gets less water, the body withholds water from skin cells to prioritize the most vital organs. The skin cells begin to dry out, tighten, and then sags and wrinkles.

Headaches:  With insufficient hydration, your blood volume drops, causing lower blood and oxygen flow to the brain. Blood vessels in the brain dilate, giving you a headache.

Physical Fatigue:  Water makes up most of your muscle tissue. When your body doesn't get enough water the muscles weaken, causing physical fatigue.

Mental Fatigue:  The brain needs oxygen to function. Lack in proper hydration creates a drop in blood and oxygen levels. The result is the inability to concentrate.

Constipation:  As your body's water availability drops, so does it's function to properly eliminate waste. Your body builds up toxins as byproducts.

Fluid Retention:  If you don't absorb enough water into your body, it will start to conserve the water it has. Water will be stored in your body at a higher than normal rate until it is re-hydrated.

Weight Gain:  Excess storage of water is the result of dehydration and fluid retention.
