================== ARTICLE START ==================

Keeping your body hydrated is extremely important to your

health and you need to know the warning signs of dehydration so

you can take action, especially if you have a very active

lifestyle. Your body needs a minimum of 64 oz of water per day.

That’s at least 8 glasses of water and you could probably drink

more.

If you live in a warmer climate then you may need to drink more

than 8 glasses. If you active in sports or have a hectic

stressful lifestyle then you may also need to drink more.

You should:

1) Start drinking water soon after you wake up. A squirt of

lemon is a good idea for your first glass of the day.

2) Take sips rather than gulping down water all at once.

3) Drink steadily throughout the day especially if you are

active.

4) You can also get some liquid into your system by eating

fruits and vegetables which contain anywhere from 70% to 92% of

water.

Here are some signs that you are dehydrated:

1) Fatigue

2) Flushed skin

3) Dry mouth

4) Dry lips

5) Cramps

6) Headache

7) Sunken eyes

8) Stiff Joints

9) Dark Urine

When you wake up in the morning your urine should be clear with

no odor. This is a quick and easy way to tell if you are

dehydrated.

You can alleviate many physical problems just by drinking the

appropriate amount of water per day. This is especially true if

you have difficulty with constipation. When you drink water it

gets into the intestines where some of it gets into the

bloodstream to nourish all the cells of the body, some goes to

other major organs such as the kidneys, bladder etc., but the

rest is utilized by the colon to remove fecal matter. You would

not expect your toilet to flush properly without water, it is

also true for your body. You will not be able to flush

sufficient fecal matter without enough water in your system.

As you start getting older you can lose some of your ability to

recognize if you are thirsty so it is especially important for

the elderly to drink water through out the day. So many

physical problems for the elderly stem from being dehydrated.

Dehydration can be a serious problem but it is easily handled.

Pay attention to your body and learn to recognize the symptoms

and drink, drink, drink water all day long. You’ll be glad you

did.
