If the body is not getting enough water, there are health problems, disrupted the normal functioning of different body systems and psyche.

An obvious symptom of dehydration is thirst, but there are other signals, clearly indicating the lack of water in the body.

1. Too rare urination

In a healthy person urinate sometimes 6-7 times a day. But of course this number can vary depending on how much liquid is consumed.

If urination occurs only 2-3 times a day, drink more water and it is advisable to consult a doctor.

Insufficient water intake affects the kidneys and can lead to serious health problems.

4. Change the color of urine

Change the color of urine should be perceived as an alarm, especially when it is accompanied by a strong odor.

The lack of water in the body contributes to the oxidation of cells of body tissues and causes chronic fatigue.

Many try to relieve fatigue with coffee or energy drink, but it leads to congestion of the liver, and ultimately fatigue.

Not to bring yourself to this condition, drink plenty of water. Morning is good to drink a glass of warm water.

6. Muscle cramps

When dehydration reduces the levels of electrolytes in the body.

In the body becomes less potassium, calcium and magnesium. Because of this, muscle cramps and pain.

7. Constipation

The normal water content in the body is necessary to “grease” the intestines and peristalsis. This avoids constipation.

If the liquid is not enough, the intestine is functioning poorly, and the stool accumulates in the rectum.

To avoid this it is recommended to drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day. In addition, you need to eat fiber-rich fruits and vegetables.

8. Dry skin

The skin was moist and soft, some creams and lotions is not enough.

It is important to drink enough water. It promotes the normal production of sebum, prevent drying of the skin and helps remove toxins that accelerate the aging process.

Too dry skin just screams of dehydration and that you need to drink more water.
