How To Tell Your Dehydrated



If your thirsty, your dehydrated!!! Water, water and more water. You can if needed, add some fresh lemon or lime if you don't like it plain but try to keep it as natural as possible. (Tea does not count as water)

Drinking enough water is essential to good health. Dehydration can cause headaches, constipation, lower back pain and chronic pain in your joints and muscles. WOW!

If you feel thirsty you're already dehydrated....its true, thats your body talking to you telling you what it needs. LISTEN UP!

Healthy people typically meet their fluid intake needs by drinking liquid with every meal and when thirsty, as well as eating fruits and veggies. For me its apples, grapes and plums.

General daily recommendations range from 91 oz for women and 125 oz for men (from food and beverages) but specifics depend on your health, climate and activity level.

Of course when working out you want colder water because it is delivered faster and you should have a drink approximately every 15 minutes of exercise. I can't do without it!

  2. Heck yeah....WATER is a MUST when I don't drink enough I am tired, and BLOATED! This is what so many people get wrong...water keeps you from bloating! SO many people dont realize they are dehydrated until its too late....best habit ALWAYS have a water bottle with you whereever you go! Just like your purse, wallet, etc..............

    Have a great day chica!
