Water is essential for our lives because it makes up more than 60% of the body and performs numerous functions such as balancing body liquids, temperature maintenance, organ lubrication, flushing out toxins, assimilation, and, of course, making your skin look great.

Dehydration or a lack of water in the body will result in poor body performance. And, because most of us are unaware of this, here are ten signs that your body is in desperate need of water:

1. HEAVY HEADACHES

Dehydration is a known cause of headache and lightheadedness, and it is an indication that your body requires water. Furthermore, if your body is dehydrated, oxygen flow to the head is reduced. So, the next time you get a headache, instead of popping a pill, drink some water.

2. CONCENTRATION IS LOW

90% of our heads are made up of water, and dehydration can impair cognitive performance. Lack of concentration, poor memory, fatigue, and anxiety are all signs that you need to drink more water.

3.BAD BREATHING

When it comes to bad breath, going to the dentist isn't always the best solution. Water is required for the production of spit, which has antibacterial properties. Bacterial growth is increased when your body is dehydrated, resulting in bad breath.

4. REPRESENTATION

Water keeps the digestive tract clean and aids in the prevention of constipation. Constipation is likely if your body is not properly hydrated after vomiting or diarrhea. Dehydration can also cause acid reflux and heartburn.

5. FOOD DESIRE

A sudden desire to eat something savory or sweet is frequently a sign that your body requires water. Dehydration can cause these false hunger signals when all you need is water. If you get a sudden craving, drink some water first and see if it goes away.

6. LESS URINATION AND COLOR CHANGE

Regular trips to the restroom indicate that you are properly hydrated. Not urinating at regular intervals is a sure sign that you should drink more water. Furthermore, the color of your urine can indicate your body's need for water. A golden or orange urine indicates that you are not drinking enough water.

7. FATIGUE AND LETHARGY

Dehydration is frequently the cause of feelings of lethargy and exhaustion. When the body has less water, the circulation of oxygen and blood to the brain is reduced, resulting in lethargy and fatigue.

8.PAIN IN THE MUSCLE AND JOINTS

Because water is an essential component of body joints, a lack of water causes joints to pound and rub against each other, resulting in joint pain. In the case of muscles, dehydration can cause muscle contraction, which causes pain.

9. SKIN AND LIPS DRY

Dehydration can cause skin breakouts, psoriasis, and dermatitis because the skin is the largest organ of the body and performs the vital function of sweating. Because one of the primary functions of water in the body is to flush out toxins and poisons, dehydration can cause skin breakouts, psoriasis, and dermatitis. Dehydration can also cause dry lips.

10. QUICK HEARTBEAT

Dehydration causes decreased plasma volume, which causes an accelerated heartbeat. Drinking water on a regular basis will help you avoid this and keep your heart healthy.

PREVENTING DEHYDRATION:

• Drink plenty of water and other liquids.
• Before and after your meal, drink a glass of water.
• Eat liquid-rich foods.
• Always carry water with you.
• Avoid alcohol and caffeine-containing beverages.
• Drink more water when you're sick.

Consult your specialist if you continue to experience the problems listed above despite taking all precautionary measures.
