Water keeps every cell, organ, and system in your body functioning properly. But dehydration can creep up quietly. Here are six tell tale signs your body is craving more hydration, according to health experts. (Source: Photo by unsplash)
Dry Skin and Lips: Your skin needs water to stay elastic and plump. If it feels flaky, tight, or your lips are always chapped, it’s a visible sign of dehydration. (Source: Photo by unsplash)
Constant Fatigue: Lack of water affects oxygen flow and slows circulation, leaving you feeling tired or sluggish even after a full night’s sleep. Staying hydrated helps boost energy levels naturally. (Source: Photo by unsplash)
Rapid heart beat and Dizziness: When you’re dehydrated, your blood volume drops, causing your heart to work harder. This may lead to a faster pulse, dizziness, or light headedness, especially after standing up quickly. (Source: Photo by unsplash)
Unusual Hunger Pangs: Sometimes your brain confuses thirst for hunger. If you find yourself snacking frequently or feeling hungry soon after eating, drink a glass of water first. (Source: Photo by unsplash)
Persistent Headaches: Dehydration reduces the amount of fluid around your brain, leading to headaches or even migraines. If you often wake up with a dull ache, you might not be drinking enough water. (Source: Photo by unsplash)
Dark Yellow Urine: One of the clearest indicators of dehydration is the colour of your urine. Dark yellow or amber-coloured urine suggests you need more fluids. Ideally, it should be light yellow or almost clear. (Source: Photo by unsplash)
