Five Signs That Your Body Lacks Water

Almost two thirds of our body is water, and the body needs this amount in order to function normally. When the amount of water falls below the average our body dehydrates. The main sign of lack of water is thirst. But we shouldn’t drink water only when we feel thirsty but during the whole day. Among thirst there are some other signs that indicate dehydration, some of them being:

-Fatigue
People very often when feeling tired tend to drink coffee drink or some other caffeine drink .They think that by drinking this will feel less sleepy and tired. What they don’t know is that drinking water will help them much more than caffeine. And drinking water in the morning will awake the liver and the digestive tract.

-Dry skin
This isn’t something new, we all know that people who have dry skin lack water. Instead of using lotions for dry skin you should drink more water which will improve blood circulation and will make your skin look better.

-Sunken eyes
If the skin around your eyes is black-ringed and your eyes are without shine, then your body is definitely dehydrated. When a person suffers from dehydration, her skin loses its elasticity and it becomes dry too. The skin under the eyes is very thin and it becomes very transparent when a person is dehydrated making the circles under the eyes more prominent. Several factors like excessive sweating from heat exhaustion, diarrhea, stomach illness, fever, exercise and use of alcohol can exacerbate this effect. This is why activities like partying and sickness is related with dark circles and sunken eyelids. In order to solve this problem, the technique is to drink more water every day which is essential for the moisture glands and the production of tears and the dark skin will disappear.

-Constipation
Constipation is a medical condition which causes people to have difficulty getting rid of solid waste from their body. With drinking enough water every day you will not have to face problems like this.

-Headache and dizziness
When we don’t drink water our blood pressure may be really low which will result with headache and dizziness. If you notice these two signs immediately drink clean water and do not substitute it with some other drinks like carbonated juice.
