Have you ever noticed an abnormal drop of your body weight? Feeling weak and lethargic? Perhaps the cause of all these symptoms and more is Dehydration. Dehydration is nothing minor to play with and if you don’t pay attention, it may even threaten your life in extreme cases. In this video we will discuss the common dehydration symptoms and signs. Dehydration basically occurs when you lose an excess number of water and fluids from your system. There are many things that may cause this. One cause is intense workout which expels much of your body’s fluids through sweat. If fluids are not replaced by drinking water, you can become dehydrated. Another common cause that leads to dehydration is when you are exposed to hot environments. Heat causes in this case a rise in internal temperature and your body has no other option that to sweat to compensate for the heat, which of courses expels liquids out of your system. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are also conditions that may cause dehydration and you are making matters worse if you fail to drink water when while nauseous. Many will ask at this point--how do I know if I’m dehydrated? Apart from obviously feeling thirsty, you may experience many different symptoms that show that you are not properly hydrated. A common symptom is memory lapses. Since our brains are made up from 90% water, they are the first organ to show signs of dehydration which will come in the form of memory lapses, headaches and possible dizziness. Another sign of dehydration is if you pee in an infrequent basis or if your pee has a strange color. Yes, it may sound disgusting but its actual color actually gives you a hint on the status of urine and water in your system. If it’s a pale orange or brown color instead of pale yellow, it probably means that you are dehydrates beyond normal levels. Performance-wise, you may notice that you really struggle to make it through the gym or a sport game. Our bodies need water to oxygenate the blood and if oxygen levels fall, our body’s performance and energy will simply suffer. Finally, take a look at your skin’s condition. Since our skin is the largest external organ connected to internal circulation of liquids and nutrients, anything we put or don’t put in our systems will have a great impact on how our skin looks. If you have noticed that your skin looks dry, rough, patchy, or less stretchy than before, dehydration might be among the top causes. So how do you keep dehydration at bay? By ingesting a good portion of fruits veggies with a high water content and low calorie drinks and plain water without any sugars and fat. Dry and processed junk food as well as alcohol are also a big no-no as they exaggerate dehydration issues and make your system expel liquids faster.
