Water is the essence of life, and we are basically the same as houseplants – we need a constant supply of H2O to thrive. Dehydration can sneak up on you and leave you with headaches, feeling sluggish, parched and off-kilter.
Did you know that studies show nearly 75% of Americans suffer from chronic dehydration? We constantly lose water throughout the day doing normal activities, so you may not even realize it at times. Dehydration happens when your body loses more fluids than it takes in. If left untreated for too long, dehydration can cause some major problems.
Here are some signs and symptoms of dehydration:
- Thirst
- Dry Mouth or Skin
- Brain Fog
- Fatigue or Dizziness
- Joint or Back Pain
- Constipation
- Heartburn
