The body needs water for virtually every function, which means it is important to regularly drink water in order to stay hydrated. Water helps with digestion, flushes out toxins, and keeps skin healthy.
When humans don’t drink enough water, they become dehydrated. Early signs of dehydration include feeling thirsty, having a dry mouth and headache, feeling fatigued, and having darker colored urine. Even a small amount of missing fluid is enough to upset the balance of minerals in the body.
When the body is dehydrated, the blood becomes more concentrated, which means the heart has to work harder to pump the blood. Higher blood concentration also results in more water retention. Over time, dehydration results in fluid loss around the brain tissue, which can affect overall cell function.
The US National Academics of Science, Engineering, and Medicine recommend a daily fluid intake of 3.7 liters for men and 2.7 liters for women. However, each person’s body has different requirements. A lack of thirst or clear or light yellow urine indicates proper hydration.
