5 Danger Signs To Show You Are Seriously Dehydrated by TheHerald: 3:32pm On May 14, 2017
Water is a transparent and nearly colorless chemical substance that is the main constituent of Earth’s streams, lakes, and oceans, and the fluids of most living organisms.

Most people do not drink enough water and this leads to a continuous damage on their body.

If you experience any of the following, you can improve your situation by starting with a glass of water.

1. Your Mouth is Dry
It is necessary to drink water because it lubricates the mucus membranes in your mouth and throat. This continues to keep the mouth moist with saliva long after the first sip.



Whenever you feel sticky and nasty in your mouth, you would be reaching out to take liquid. Most times, people take some sugary drinks to quench their thirst but it’s only a temporary solution to a larger problem.

2. Your Skin is Dry
When the body lacks water, it also lacks sweat and this can lead to the body’s inability to wash away excess dirt and oil which has been accumulated in the body.

Your skin is your body’s largest organ, so of course it needs to stay hydrated. In fact, dry skin is one of the earliest signs of full-on dehydration, which can lead to much larger problems.

3. You’re Overly Thirsty



When one is thirsty, it seems like the body can’t get enough water. You tend to drink a lot of water until the fluid level gets back to baseline.

Alcohol also dehydrates the entire body, and most times people tend to urinate alot while drinking. At the end, their thirst increases and there is a need to get hydrated.

4. Your Eyes Are Dry
By now it should be clear that drinking water affects more than just your mouth and throat. A lack of water intake leads to dry, bloodshot eyes. Without water in the body, your tear ducts dry up.

5. You Experience Joint Pains

Our cartilage and spinal discs are made up of about 80% water. This is an absolute necessity to keep our bones from grinding against each other with every step we take. By keeping your body hydrated, you ensure that your joints can absorb the shock of sudden movements, such as running, jumping, or falling

Water is that power fluid! Minimum of 8 glasses a day. Our bodies must have it.
Water has so many uses...besides just drinking.
But that's where most humans need to start.
