The term \u201cdehydration\u201d sounds very serious. You think it has nothing to do with you. It would only happen in poor countries or severe\u00a0disasters like earthquakes right? No. Dehydration is way too common than most people think.<\/em><\/p>\n

75% of Americans1\u00a0are chronically dehydrated and don\u2019t even know it. And even mild dehydration can affect our bodies and how we feel a lot. Think about this.\u00a0\u201c60 percent of our bodies is composed of water, 75 percent in our muscles, 85 percent in our brains, it\u2019s like oil to a machine,\u201d said\u00a0Dr. Roberta Lee from\u00a0Clear Lake Regional Medical Centre.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re feeling unwell, quite often it might be the result of dehydration. Check the signs below and you\u2019ll be surprised that how dehydrated your body often is and how some of the annoying health issues can actually be resolved so easily.<\/p>\n

You feel bloated. Plus bad breath. But nothing comes out. Apart from having more fibre in your diet, you also need to check if you\u2019re drinking enough water.<\/p>\n

Dehydration is one of the most common causes of chronic constipation. When you don\u2019t drink enough water, the waste in your intestine becomes so dry that it is hard to get through.<\/p>\n

3. Headache<\/h2>\n

As 85% of water in our bodies is in our brains, when you don\u2019t drink enough water, your brain reacts immediately.<\/p>\n

Your brain is surrounded by a protective layer of water, which encompasses the entirety of your brain. Low or complete lack of water intake causes this layer to evaporate. This depletion can cause your brain to push against your skull, leading to painful headaches.<\/p>\n

Tips<\/h2>\n
