5 Unexpected Signs Of Dehydration
5 Unexpected Signs of Dehydration
Water accounts for 60% of your body hence keeping yourself hydrated is vital for optimum bodily functions. Read on to find out what dehydration can do to your body.
You Can’t Concentrate or Think Clearly
The brain requires sufficient water to function properly. If you’re dehydrated, you’ll notice that your cognitive function or your mood may change and you may find yourself confused or unfocused.
You Crave for Something Sweet
When you’re dehydrated, you may crave something sweet because your body needs help producing glycogen, a form of stored carbohydrates that the body uses as fuel.
Drink a big glass of water or consume fruits and vegetables which contain lots of water.
You Feel Fatigue or Dizzy
Water helps your body regulate blood sugar and oxygen levels which in turn help you to feel energised. Without sufficient water intake, your body can’t process nutrients optimally, which results in fatigue and dizziness.
You Don’t Perform A Good Workout
As dehydration lowers your blood pressure, it makes the heart work harder, which impacts how much you can push yourself during a workout. More than 5 percent dehydration decreases exercise capacity by about 30 percent!
Stay well hydrated before, during and after your workout!
You Experience Heart Palpitations
Dehydration throws your body’s electrolytes off-balance, resulting in a lower blood pressure. This puts extra strain on various parts of your body including your heart. As a result, you may feel your heart racing or have an abnormal heart rate.
