1. Dehydration
Dehydrated people will initially experience thirst, headache, and dryness in their mouths. If water isn’t provided, the symptoms will become more severe and can include tiredness and confusion, inability to urinate, nausea and chest pain. Young children and the elderly are more prone to dehydration than adults because their thirst mechanism isn’t as reliable. If someone is dehydrated, they obviously need water but they will rehydrate more quickly with an oral rehydration solution.
2. Constipation
When you’re dehydrated, transit time through your intestines increases and more water is removed from the stool to be recycled elsewhere in the body. This leads to a hard dry stool that is both difficult and painful to pass as well as abdominal discomfort and bloating. Stools should be uniformly smooth and quite narrow. If your stool has a cracked surface, you are probably suffering from mild constipation and should increase your fluid intake to prevent more severe constipation.
3. Urinary Tract Infections
Regular urination removes bacteria from the urinary tract. Infrequent urination can lead to a buildup of bacteria which causes painful urinary tract infection and cystitis. Cystiti in an infection of the bladder and can quickly progress to a much more serious kidney infection.
Women are eight times more likely to suffer from UTIs than men, one reason is because the urinary tract in women is shorter than in men which means that the bacteria can colonize the area more quickly. Statistics show that 15% of women suffer a UTI each year. If you want to know more about these and other issues you can find them on balancemebeautiful.com.
