[targetstudy]

Dehydration can cause Headaches and Dizziness

Yes, Dehydration can cause Headaches and Dizziness. If you are feeling a headache or mild dizziness during the summer season, then it can also be a sign of a lack of water.

What do Dehydration Headaches and Dizziness Feel Like

If you are troubled by dehydration and if you also drink less water then these tips can help.

Tips 1. Use Mix Ice and Lemon Slices in Water

If you do not like plain water then you can do some experiments with it. Instead of plain water, add some ice cubes to it. You can add slices of lemon, orange, or seasonal lime. Apart from this, some other similar experiments can also be done, which will increase the taste of water.

Tips 2. Increase Water-Rich Fruits and Vegetables

To keep the body hydrated, apart from water, also consume juicy fruits like watermelon, melon, orange, pear etc. Some fruits contain up to 90% water. Apart from this, soup and dairy products are also helpful in keeping the body hydrated.

Hello hello! Since I am a huge procrastinator myself, I decided to make a masterpost about starting a productive study session. My school starts next week and I am ready for some changes, this way I hope to get rid of my bad study habits and ofcourse to inspire you guys! 

Take a break 

Take a break as soon as you get home, breaks are so important! Recent studies have shown that taking regular breaks of as little as 2 minutes, can increase your productivity with 11%. When I get home from school I am tired and I can’t stop thinking about all the stuff that’s happening at school. By taking breaks you reduce fatigue and increase productivity and alertness.

1. Get a snack The first thing you should do when you get home is make yourself a snack and get some energy in your body! Everbody loves a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but try to eat something healthy. I recommend brain foods like advocado, nuts, dark chocolate and blueberries.

2. Drink a big glass of water  Going without water for too long causes headaches for some people, and has been identified as a migraine trigger. Feeling tired is one of the first signs of dehydration and dehydration causes shrinkage of brain tissue, this way your brain needs to work a lot harder to perform at the same level. As we all know water keeps you refreshed, hydrated and focused!

3. Do something fun Do something fun to keep your head of studying for a little while. Take a walk, do yoga, read a couple of chapters, journal or get creative. Try to avoid anything digital, like looking on your phone on watching television, this can cause fatigue and restlessness.

Remove any possible distractions 

This is the most important step if you are easily distracted. I know your phone, computer, friends and basically everything are way more interesting than studying, but remember that you are studying for a reason! 

1. Clean your desk  Get rid of any clutter from your desk and if you have time left clean your room or study space too. Remove irrelevant items from your desk. If there is anything you won’t use while studying, get rid of it (they will only distract you)!

2. Open up a window  Get some fresh air into your room or study space, this increases energy and focus. If it is too cold outside you can burn a candle or use essential oils for a nice smell.

3. Turn off your phone  Your phone is such a big distraction, just turn it off! If you don’t want to turn off your phone make sure you turn of the sound and notifications. Limit yourself to only using your phone during a break to avoid further distractions.

4. Use a website blocker If you like to time your study session or if you are more familiar with the pomodoro method I recommend using a website blocker. A website blocker blocks websites and phone applications of your choosing for a certain amount of time (you can choose this too). I use an app called forest on my phone and cold turkey on my computer, you should definitely check those out!

Plan out your study session 

Before you actually start studying, you should plan out your study session. Figure out what you need to study, how long you are going to study for each subject and when you are going to take a break. Planning out your study session ensures you are spending your time useful, this is the key to a productive study session!

1. Check your planner Figure out what subjects you need to study, if you have any upcoming assignments or homework you need to finish for certain classes. This way you won’t forget any important deadlines, appointments or exams.

2. Make a to-do list You are going to procrastinate if you don’t have a game plan! Write down every single task you need to finish, schedule these tasks according to priority. You could create a time schedule, but make sure you schedule your breaks too.

3. Set achievable goals What do you want to accomplish during your study session? Do you want to incorporate new habits in to your study session? Write down every goal you want to achieve during your study session and place or hang them somewhere you can see them, so you are constantly reminded to achieve your goals. Make sure to set achievable goals, you can’t study for ten classes in an hour if you know what I mean. 

Get to work

There are only a few steps left until you can actually start studying. It is almost impossible to forget your supplies, but there are a other key steps you might have never done before!

1. Grab your supplies  Figure out what books you need for each subject you are going to study, do you use particular notebooks or binders for a certain subject? Do you need different pens, pencils or highlighters for every subject? Do you need a ruler, calculator or other tools? Make sure you have your syllabus, available powerpoints and your class notes.

2. Pick a study strategy  Decide what study strategy you are going to use for each subject. Are you going to rewrite class notes, make a mind-map, read your textbook, create flashcards, etc? Write down what study strategy you will be using for each subject on your to-do list. 

3. Look for a study playlist You can skip this step if you don’t like studying with music, but you can always give it a try. If you prefer studying with music you should look for a good study playlist, but you can also create one yourself. I recommend classical or acoustic music, since you might get distracted by the lyrics. There are some really nice study playlist on spotify and 8tracks. 

4. Grab another glass of water  Grab another glass of water, this way you stay hydrated. You could even fill a bottle of water, so you don’t have to keep filling your glass. Don’t forget to stay hydrated during your study session, drinking water is so important.

That’s it, you can start cracking now! Take a deep breath and try to get into your study mode. I know it is not always easy to be productive, but remember you are studying for a reason! 

General tips 

Reward yourself - You are working so hard and you deserve a reward. Reward yourself when you achieve a goal, pass an exam, get a good grade for an assignment, etc. Buy something nice, go to the movies, hang out with your friends, you deserve it!

Use your syllabus - Your professor made it for a reason, it is a good guideline for your study sessions. Your syllabus contains a lot of important deadlines, check it regularly so you don’t forget to turn in any assignments or essays.

Work on the least interesting thing first - You are way more focused and energized at the beginning of your study session, this way you finish the least interesting tasks faster.

Use different study methods - You can’t use the same study method for every class, obviously. Try to switch between different study methods when you are studying for a class, so you stay a bit more interested. 

I hope this masterpost will help you to start a productive study session and ofcourse inspired you to start studying! Let me know if there is an important step I missed, so I can add it to the list. I would love to hear your method to start a productive study session, I hope you have a very productive day! <3

THE BODY FLUID COMPARTMENTS: ECF AND ICF; EDEMA

Homeostasis – maintenance

 WATER IS ADDED TO THE BODY BY 2 MAJOR SOURCES:

·         Form of liquids or water in food (which add about 2100 ml/day)

·         Synthesized in the body by oxidation of CHO (which add about 200 ml/day)

 2300 ml/day – total water intake

 INTAKE OF WATER IS HIGHLY VARIABLE DEPENDING ON:

·         Climate

·         Habits

·         Level of physical activity

 Insensible water loss – not consciously aware of it

    700 ml/day – evaporation from the respiratory tract and diffusion through the skin

    300 to 400 ml/day – average water loss by diffusion through the skin (loss is minimized by the cholesterol-filled cornified layer of the skin) is also the same with diffusion through the respiratory tract

    3 to 5 L/day – rate of evaporation in those who have extensive burns

    As air enters the respiratory tract, it becomes saturated with moisture, to a vapor pressure of about 47 mmHg, before it is expelled.

    <47 mmHg – vapor pressure of inspired air

    Decreases to nearly 0 – in cold weather (this explains why there’s a dry feeling in the respiratory passages in cold weather)

 100 ml/day – fluid loss in sweat

  Increases to 1 to 2 L/hour – in very hot weather or during heavy exercise (this fluid loss would rapidly deplete the body fluids if intake were not also increased by activating the thirst mechanism)

 100 ml/day – water loss in feces

 The remaining water loss from the body occurs in the urine.

    0.5 L/day – urine volume in a dehydrated person

    20 L/day – in a person who has been drinking tremendous amounts of water

 20 mEq/day to 300 or 500 mEq/day – sodium intake

  If you’re a medical student or a doctor, and you’re reading this…you know what are the 2 body fluid compartments right?  ECF and ICF.  Yeah, right it’s written as the title.

    ECF IS DIVIDED INTO:

·         Interstitial fluid

·         Blood plasma

    Transcellular fluid – another small compartment of fluid that is usually considered to be a specialized type of ECF (it constitute about 1 to 2 L)

    In a 70-kg adult man, the total body water is about 60% or about 42 L of the body weight.

    PERCENTAGE DEPENDS ON:

·         Age

·         Gender

·         Degree of obesity

    50% of the body weight – women

    70 to 75% of the body weight – premature and newborn babies

   28 of the 42 L (40%) – ICF

 14 of the 42 L (20%) – ECF

    11 L (3/4) – interstitial fluid

  3 L (1/4) – plasma

    They both have the same composition except for proteins which have a higher concentration in the plasma.

 Blood – considered to be a separate fluid compartment because it is contained in a chamber of its own, the circulatory system (The average blood volume of adults is about 7% of body weight, or about 5 L.  60%of the blood is plasma and 40% is RBCs.)

 Hematocrit – packed RBC volume

    3 to 4% - plasma that is entrapped among the cells

    96% - true hematocrit

    0.40 – NV for men

  0.36 – women

  0.10 – severe anemia (barely sufficient to sustain life)

  0.65 – those who have polycythemia

  I honestly don’t know what’s the definition for the Donnan Effect.  I guess (based on my understanding) it just speaks of how opposite charges attract. :)  (Please correct me if I’m wrong.)

    The concentration of cations is slightly greater in the plasma than in the interstitial fluid.  The plasma proteins have a net negative charge and therefore tend to bind cations, thus holding extra amounts of these cations in the plasma along with the plasma proteins.  

    Conversely, anions tend to have a slightly higher concentration in the interstitial fluid compared with the plasma, because the negative charges of the plasma proteins repel the anions.  

  CATIONS FOUND IN THE ECF:

·         Na+

·         Ca++

    ANIONS FOUND IN THE ECF:

·         Cl-

·         HCO3

    CATIONS FOUND IN THE ICF:

·         K+

·         Mg++

    ANIONS FOUND IN THE ICF:

·         PO4 and organic ions

·         CHON

  MEASUREMENT OF TOTAL BODY WATER:

·         Radioactive water (tritium, 3H2O)

·         Heavy water (deuterium, 2H2O)

    Antipyrine – a very lipid soluble used also to measure total body water

 MEASUREMENT OF ECF VOLUME:

·         Radioactive sodium

·         Radioactive chloride

·         Radioactive iothalamate

·         Thiosulfate ion

·         Inulin

    Sodium space or the inulin space

 CALCULATION OF INTRACELLULAR VOLUME:  Total body water – Extracellular volume

 MEASUREMENT OF PLASMA VOLUME:

·         125I-albumin

·         Evans blue dye (T-1824)

 CALCULATION OF INTERSTITIAL FLUID VOLUME:  ECF volume – Plasma volume

  MEASUREMENT OF BLOOD VOLUME:  Plasma volume / (1 – Hematocrit)

   51Cr – a substance frequently used to label the RBCs

  Osmolality – osmoles per kg of water

 Osmolarity – osmoles per L of solution

 ISOTONIC SOLUTIONS:

·         0.9% NaCl

·         5% glucose

 HYPOTONIC SOLUTION:  <0.9% NaCl (swells)

 HYPERTONIC SOLUTION:  >0.9% NaCl (shrinks)

 Fluid usually enters the body through the gut.  It usually takes 30 minutes to achieve osmotic equilibrium everywhere in the body after drinking water.  

  DIFFERENT FACTORS THAT CAN CAUSE EXTRACELLULAR AND INTRACELLULAR VOLUMES TO CHANGE MARKEDLY:

·         Excess ingestion or renal retention of water

·         Dehydration

·         IV infusion of different types of solutions

·         Loss of large amounts of fluid from the GI tract

·         Loss of abnormal amounts of fluid by sweating or through the kidneys

  Glucose solutions – are widely used in administering nutritive purposes (5% is often used to treat dehydration…well except for dehydration which have other causes like bacterial diarrhea)

 Homogenized fat solutions – used to a lesser extent

Plasma sodium concentration – measurement that is readily available to the clinician for evaluating a patient’s fluid status (Why?  You should probably know the answer.  You’re a doctor after all!)

    Hyponatremia – mEq < 142

    Hypernatremia – otherwise

    CAUSES OF HYPONATREMIA:

·         Excess water (CONDITION THAT CAN CAUSE THIS:  excessive secretion of ADH which could lead to hyponatremia – overhydration)

·         Loss of sodium (CONDITIONS THAT CAN CAUSE THIS:  diarrhea, vomiting, overuse of diuretics, Addison’s disease from decreased secretion of aldosterone which impairs the kidney to reabsorb sodium)

    PRIMARY LOSS OF NaCl RESULTS IN:

·         Hyponatremia

·         Dehydration

    Cell swelling – consequence of hyponatremia (DUH!)

    RAPID REDUCTION IN PLASMA SODIUM CONCENTRATION:

·         Brain cell edema

·         Neurological symptoms (headache, nausea, lethargy, disorientation)

    FALLS BELOW 115 TO 120 mmol/L:

·         Seizures

·         Coma

·         Permanent brain damage

·         Death

    Glutamate (find out what is this for)

    Demyelination – loss of the myelin sheath from nerves when hypertonic solutions are added too rapidly to correct hyponatremia (AVOIDED BY LIMITING THE CORRECTION:  <10 to 12 mmol/L in 24 hours, <18mmol/L in 48 hours)

    Hyponatremia (oh boy, this came out in our Surgery exam) – most common electrolyte disorder encountered in clinical practice and may occur in up to 15% to 25% of hospitalized patients

  CAUSES OF HYPERNATREMIA:

·         Water loss

·         Excess sodium (hypernatremia-overhydration by excessive secretion of aldosterone)

    Increased aldosterone secretion – stimulates the secretion of ADH and the reason why hypernatremia is not more severe

    PRIMARY LOSS OF WATER:

·         Hypernatremia

·         Dehydration – more common cause of hypernatremia associated with decreased ECF volume

    “Central” diabetes insipidus – inability to secrete ADH so the kidneys excrete large amounts of dilute urine causing dehydration and increased concentration of NaCl in the ECF

    “Nephrogenic” diabetes insipidus – kidneys cannot respond to ADH

    Cell shrinkage – consequence of hypernatremia

    HYPERNATREMIA PROMOTES:

·         Intense thirst

·         Stimulates secretion of ADH

    SEVERE HYPERNATREMIA CAN OCCUR IN:

·         Hypothalamic lesions that impair the sense of thirst

·         Infants who may not have ready access to water

·         Elderly patients with altered mental status

·         Persons with diabetes insipidus

    CORRECTION OF HYPERNATREMIA:

·         Hypo-osmotic NaCl

·         Dextrose solutions

  Edema – presence of excess fluid in the body tissues;  occurs mainly in the ECF compartment

    CONDITIONS ESPECIALLY PRONE TO CAUSE INTRACELLULAR SWELLING:

·         Hyponatremia

·         Depression of the metabolic systems of the tissues

·         Lack of adequate nutrition to the cells

    Inflammation – usually increases cell membrane permeability

    CONDITIONS ESPECIALLY PRONE TO CAUSE EXTRACELLULAR EDEMA:

·         Abnormal leakage of fluid from the plasma to the interstitial spaces across the capillaries

·         Failure of the lymphatics to return fluid from the interstitium back into the blood (lymphedema)

    Excessive capillary fluid filtration – most common clinical cause of interstitial fluid accumulation

    FACTORS THAT CAN INCREASE CAPILLARY FILTRATION:

·         Increased capillary filtration coefficient

·         Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure

·         Decreased plasma colloid osmotic pressure

    Rise in CHON concentration – raises the colloid osmotic pressure of the interstitial fluid

  SUMMARY OF CAUSES OF EXTRACELLULAR EDEMA:

I          Increased capillary pressure

A.      Excessive kidney retention of salt and water (acute or chronic kidney failure, mineralocorticoid excess)

B.      High venous pressure and venous constriction (heart failure, venous obstruction, failure of venous pumps: paralysis of muscles, immobilization of parts of the body, failure of venous valves)

C.       Decreased arteriolar resistance (excessive body heat, insufficiency of sympathetic nervous system, vasodilator drugs)

 II       Decreased plasma proteins

A.      Loss of proteins in urine (nephrotic syndrome)

B.      Loss of protein from denuded skin areas (burns, wounds)

C.       Failure to produce proteins (liver disease, serious protein or caloric malnutrition)

 III     Increased capillary permeability

A.      Immune reactions that cause release of histamine and other immune products

B.      Toxins

C.       Bacterial infections

D.      Vitamin deficiency, especially vitamin C

E.      Prolonged ischemia

F.       Burns

 IV     Blockage of lymph return

A.      Cancer

B.      Infections

C.       Surgery

D.      Congenital absence or abnormality of lymphatic vessels

  Heart failure – one of the most serious and common causes of edema; arterial pressure tends to fall causing decreased excretion of salt and water; blood flow to the kidneys is reduced

    Renin – cause increased formation of angiotensin II and increased secretion of aldosterone, both of which cause additional salt and water retention by the kidneys

    Left-sided heart failure – blood is pumped into the lungs normally by the right side of the heart but cannot escape easily from the pulmonary veins to the left side of the heart; can cause death within a few hours

    MAIN EFFECTS OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF NaCl AND WATER ARE ADDED TO THE ECF:

·         Widespread increases in interstitial fluid volume

·         Hypertension

    Acute glomerulonephritis – renal glomeruli are injured by inflammation and therefore fail to filter adequate amounts of fluid, serious ECF fluid edema also develops; along with the edema, severe hypertension usually develops

    Cirrhosis – development of large amounts of fibrous tissue among the liver parenchymal cells

    Liver cirrhosis – sometimes compresses the abdominal portal venous drainage vessels as they pass through the liver before emptying back into the general circulation

    Ascites – a condition of transudation of large amounts of fluid and protein into the abdominal cavity

While you can squeeze the rear of your hand to inspect the hydration degree in your body, one of the very best approaches to inspect whether you are drinking adequate water or otherwise is to notice the shade of your pee. Ideally, the color of the urine ought to be practically clear.

What is a Dehydration Migraine?

When a person is not moisturized sufficient, he may experience a migraine or a frustration. Dehydration migraine is a real thing.

Dehydration can sneak up on a person swiftly as, by the time you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Dehydration occurs in the body when the loss of water is greater than the consumption of water.

Signs of Dehydration

The symptoms of dehydration can vary from one person to another. According to a little study published in a medical journal, it was reported that 1 in every 10 people experience dehydration frustration. The migraine aggravates when the individual relocated his head, walked around or bent down. A lot of respondents felt relief thirty minutes to an hour after drinking water.

The symptoms of dehydration can vary however normally consist of:

·                    Nausea

·                    A visual aura

·                    Not peing enough

·                    Muscle aches

·                    Thirst

·                    Darker yellow pee

·                    Dry or sticky mouth

·                    Great, dry skin

·                    Wrinkled skin

·                    No tears when weeping

What Creates Dehydration Headache?

Dehydration is caused when the consumption of water is much less than the amount of water you lose. Dehydration can occur when you exercise vigorously and fall short to restore the water in the body. Often, you may just neglect to drink water which can also result in dehydration. Dehydration is additionally a common adverse effects of several nonprescription medications.

While severe dehydration can cause brain damage as well as death, dehydration migraine is caused by mild dehydration. Severe dehydration is a lot more common in:

·                    Kids

·                    Clients dealing with persistent health problem

·                    Older grownups

·                    Individuals who don't have access to clean drinking water

Link In Between Dehydration as well as Frustration

Dehydration is thought to be one of the most usual underlying reasons for frustrations. Not drinking adequate water is likewise considered a common trigger for migraine headaches. Dehydration migraines are usually connected with throwing up, nausea or vomiting, as well as throbbing discomfort.

A person experiencing dehydration migraine can likewise really feel a tightening up experience around the head. Additionally, the discomfort increases when the head is relocated. While it is not totally clear why dehydration creates a frustration, some research studies have actually revealed that dehydration triggers the capillary to narrow in to regulate body fluid level. As it becomes harder for the oxygen to reach the brain, it creates a frustration.

Tips to Prevent a Headache From Dehydration

One of the best methods to avoid dehydration headache is to guarantee you give your body sufficient liquid. Below are some helpful tips to avoid dehydration frustration.

·                    Make certain to drink on fluid with the day and not only when you really feel dehydrated.

·                    Not all fluids are developed just as. Alcohol and also coffee are diuretics. They cause an individual to shed more liquid.

·                    The shade of your urine should be light yellow or clear.

·                    Taking in extra water-rich vegetables and fruits boost your water consumption.

·                    Seek shade when it's hot out

·                    Drinking water is a non-invasive way to treat migraine

5 Practical Ways to Drink Even More Water

What Happens To Your Body When You Stop Drinking Water | How To Get Rid Of Headaches Fast Dowanload Daily Plans @ https://ift.tt/2wExYPn On last count, approximately 2.1 billion people do not have access to clean drinking water. Today's video will discuss What Happens to Your Body When You Stop Drinking Water. That number keeps increasing by the day, as per a report by the World Health Organisation. The demands for access to clean water and food have never been as pressing as they are today. So, what happens to the human body if you don’t drink water? The short answer is you die a slow and painful death. 1. Dark urine, When your body is low on water, your brain sends signals to your kidneys to send more water to your blood, rather than flushing it out in the urine. When your blood holds on to the water, it causes your urine to turn a dark yellow with a strong odour. That’s your body’s way of conserving fluids. 2. Brain shrinkage, When you don’t drink enough water, your energy drops and your mood becomes more irritable. A dehydrated brain actually works much harder to achieve simple tasks, than when you are well hydrated. It even temporarily shrinks if you don’t drink water.

Being Dehydrated Can Make You Tired, Grumpy and Sick

By Dr. Mercola

Have you ever been so busy you neglected to drink even a sip or two of water for an extended period, then suddenly realized you were incredibly thirsty and in need of a long drink? By replenishing your body's water supply when it tells you you're thirsty, you can often stave off dehydration. In fact, typically your body's physiologic thirst mechanism is triggered before you're dehydrated, giving you a chance to rehydrate before it's too late.

There are exceptions to this rule, however, with the elderly and young children being at particular risk of becoming dehydrated. It's estimated that 20 percent to 30 percent of older adults are dehydrated,1 often due to water deprivation and the fact that people naturally have a lower volume of water in their body as they get older.2 Infants and children may also become quickly dehydrated, especially if they're sick and suffering from vomiting or diarrhea.

One study even suggested more than half of American children are dehydrated, while about one-quarter do not drink water on a daily basis.3 Among healthy adults, the National Academy of Sciences concluded, "The vast majority of healthy people adequately meet their daily hydration needs by letting thirst be their guide."4

However, if you're ignoring your thirst or find yourself not drinking enough water during hot weather, especially if you've been exercising, it's quite easy to become mild to moderately dehydrated, with signs and symptoms that may surprise you.

Why Your Body Needs Water

Your body consists of about 42 liters (44.4 quarts) of water, which accounts for between 50 percent and 70 percent of your body weight. Your blood is 85 percent water, your muscles 80 percent water, your brain 75 percent water and even your bones are 25 percent water,5 which signals the importance this fluid plays in your health. So what happens if you don't drink enough?

The No. 1 risk factor for kidney stones is not drinking enough water, for starters. There is also some research showing that high fluid intake is linked to a lower risk of certain types of cancer, such as bladder and colorectal.6 Even the risk of fatal coronary heart disease has been linked to water intake, with a study showing women who drank five or more glasses of water per day reduced their risk by 41 percent compared to women who drank less. Men, meanwhile, reduced their risk by 54 percent.7

Your body also needs water for blood circulation, metabolism, regulation of body temperature and waste removal. If you're dehydrated, even mildly, your mood and cognitive function may also suffer. In a study of 25 women, those who suffered from 1.36 percent dehydration experienced a worsened mood, irritability, headaches and lower concentration, and perceived tasks to be more difficult.8

When you don't drink enough water, you may also pose a danger on the road, according to a study published in the journal Physiology & Behavior, which found dehydrated drivers made twice the amount of errors during a two-hour drive compared to hydrated drivers.9

How Your Body Reacts to Too Little Water

Your body runs optimally when it's adequately hydrated, whereas negative biological changes occur when fluid is lacking. When you're dehydrated, brain tissue fluid decreases,10 leading to changes in brain volume. Your blood also becomes thicker and circulates less, which may lead to muscle cramps and also triggers your kidneys to hold on to water, so your urine output decreases. Further, according to Toby Mündel, senior lecturer in sport and exercise science, Massey University, New Zealand:11

"The thicker and more concentrated your blood becomes, the harder it is for your cardiovascular system to compensate by increasing heart rate to maintain blood pressure. When your dehydrated body is 'pushed'— such as when exercising or faced with heat stress — the risk of exhaustion or collapse increases. This can cause you to faint, for instance, when you stand up too quickly.

Less water also hampers the body's attempts at regulating temperature, which can cause hyperthermia (a body temperature greatly above normal). At a cellular level, 'shrinkage' occurs as water is effectively borrowed to maintain other stores, such as the blood. The brain senses this and triggers an increased sensation of thirst."

Mündel recommends keeping track of your body weight to monitor your hydration levels. First thing in the morning when you get out of bed, weigh yourself for three mornings in a row, then calculate the average of your weights. This is your normal baseline weight, and you should stay within 1 percent of that if you're adequately hydrated (assuming other factors haven't influenced your weight).

Surprising Signs of Dehydration

When your body is dehydrated, the lack of water can manifest in surprising signs and symptoms, including:12

• Bad breath: Saliva is antibacterial, but when you're dehydrated you have decreased saliva in your mouth. This allows odor-causing bacteria to thrive.

• Sugar cravings: Thirst can disguise itself as hunger, and many people reach for a snack when they're actually thirsty. Sugar cravings are especially common when you're dehydrated because your liver, which releases stored glucose, requires water to do so. Further, Amy Goodson, sports dietitian for the Dallas Cowboys, told Health, "When you exercise in a dehydrated state, you use glycogen (stored carbohydrate) at a faster rate, thus diminishing your stores more quickly."13

• Athletic declines: If you're in the middle of a workout, a 2 percent decrease in body weight through water loss may lead to declines in performance of up to 10 percent, according to Goodson.

• Decreased alertness and increased fatigue: In a 2013 study, 20 healthy women in their mid-20s were deprived of all beverages for 24 hours. While no clinical abnormalities were observed in the biological parameters (urine, blood and saliva), thirst and heart rate did increase and urine output was drastically reduced (and became darker).

As for mood effects, the authors noted, "The significant effects of [fluid deprivation] on mood included decreased alertness and increased sleepiness, fatigue and confusion."14 Other research has shown that even dehydration levels of just 1 percent may adversely affect cognitive performance.15

• Chills: If you're feeling chilled for no reason, it could be because you need to take a drink of water. When you're dehydrated, your body limits blood flow to your skin, which can make you feel cold.

Constipation is another consequence of not drinking enough water, as your body will actually pull water from your stool to compensate for what you're not taking in. This, in turn, makes your stool drier, harder and difficult to pass. Other symptoms of mild and severe dehydration include:16

Mild to Moderate Dehydration Severe Dehydration

Dry, sticky mouth

Extreme thirst

Sleepiness or tiredness

Irritability and confusion

Dry skin

Sunken eyes

Headache

Dry skin that doesn't bounce back when you pinch it

Lightheadedness

Low blood pressure

Dizziness

Rapid heartbeat

Few or no tears when crying

Rapid breathing

Minimal urine

No tears when crying

Dry, cool skin

Fever

Muscle cramps

Little or no urination, and any urine color that is darker than usual

In serious cases, delirium or unconsciousness

How Much Water Is Enough?

There's quite a bit of debate about how much water the average person needs to stay healthy. You've probably heard the recommendation to drink eight 8-ounce glasses (known as 8x8 for short) of water a day to stay healthy, and it is often stated as scientific fact. However, it's not quite that simple, as many factors affect how much water your need, from your age and health status to your activity levels and climate.

Further, in a review published in the American Journal of Physiology, Dr. Heinz Valtin of Dartmouth Medical School, could find no scientific basis for the 8x8 rule, which is more aptly described as a myth.17 Valtin also put to rest some myths regarding water consumption, such as that waiting to drink until you're thirsty is too late, because by then you're already dehydrated.

As Valtin said, "[T]hirst is so sensitive, quick and accurate that it is hard to imagine that evolutionary development left us with a chronic water deficit that has to be compensated by forcing fluid intake."18 Ultimately, you needn't get bogged down with trying to figure out the exact amount of water your body needs or tracking how many glasses you've consumed in a day.

There's no need for that because your body will let you know. Simply using thirst as a guide to how much water you need to drink is a simple way to help ensure your individual needs are met, day-by-day. You can also use the color of your urine as a guide. If it is a deep, dark yellow then you are likely not drinking enough water. A pale straw color or light yellow is typically indicative of adequate hydration.

If your urine is scant or if you haven't urinated in many hours, that too is an indication that you're not drinking enough. (Based on the results from a few different studies, a healthy person urinates on average about seven or eight times a day.)

If you know you're prone to ignoring your thirst and not drinking when your body gives you this sign, then it would make sense to pay more active attention and always take the time to drink some water when you're thirsty. In infants and children, detecting dehydration can be trickier, but if you see these symptoms you can assume your child is dehydrated and should seek medical help immediately:

Sunken soft spot (fontanelle) on their head

Few or no tears when they cry

Dry mouth

Few wet diapers

Drowsiness

Fast breathing
