Staying hydrated is vital for proper body function. However, many people don’t consume enough water.Â
In this article, we show you seven common signs that you may be dehydrated. Pay attention to these symptoms to correct this habit in time and take care of your daily well-being.
Constant thirst
If you frequently feel the need to drink water, it’s a clear sign of dehydration. Thirst is the body’s first warning mechanism to recover lost fluids.
Dark urine
Bright yellow or amber urine indicates that the body is retaining fluids and urgently needs water to properly eliminate toxins.
Dry mouth and bad breath
Lack of saliva due to dehydration causes dry mouth, which promotes the growth of bacteria and causes persistent bad breath.
Unexplained fatigue or tiredness
When there is not enough water in the body, blood volume decreases and the heart works harder, causing exhaustion without apparent cause.
Frequent headaches
Dehydration can reduce oxygen flow to the brain, causing mild headaches or migraines that are not always related to water consumption.
Dry or inelastic skin
Skin that is dull, tight, or doesn’t spring back when pinched may indicate poor hydration, both externally and internally.
Constipation and slow digestion
Water is key to softening stools and facilitating bowel movements. A lack of it can cause difficult digestion and persistent constipation.
