Some tips and advice:
One thing to be aware of when monitoring your water consumption is dehydration. Medically, dehydration is defined as: the loss of more fluid at a rate greater than fluid is taken in.
Common symptoms include:
- Excessive thirstiness
- Dry or sticky mouth, lips and eyes
- Dark yellow or strong smelling pee
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Urinating less often
Do you have any of these symptoms? If so, you may be dehydrated. It is important to be aware of these symptoms as dehydration is surprisingly common among today’s adult population. In the US, 75% of adults have chronic dehydration (when dehydration recurs for longer periods), so it is vital to look out for.
Similarly, overhydration is an issue among some young adults. When a person drinks too much water, their kidneys are unable to remove the excess water and it starts collecting in the body. The symptoms are very similar to dehydration and can be impacting on your daily routine and lifestyle. Maintaining a balance is incredibly important!
