Signs that you’re dehydrated
Thirst isn’t always the first warning sign. These signs may indicate that your body needs more water:
Dry mouth or pasty tongue.
Headache and fatigue.
Dull or itchy skin.
Dark or strong-smelling urine.
Unexplained cravings for sugar or salt.
When the body doesn’t get enough water, its functions slow down, affecting everything from digestion to the immune system.
Habits That Enhance the Effects of Water
Water is the vehicle that transports nutrients and eliminates toxins, but its effect depends on how you consume it:
Avoid drinking it too cold, as it can affect digestion.
Choose filtered or mineral water, free of contaminants.
Add a pinch of sea salt or a few drops of lemon to balance electrolytes.
Don’t drink large amounts at once: the body eliminates the excess without using it.
