Water Deficiency - Are You Suffering From It?
Dr. Neha GuptaInternal Medicine Specialist • 22 Years Exp.Infectious Disease Fellowship, MBBS, MD - General Medicine, FNB- Infectious Diseases
Water is the life giving source of the planet and we would do well to remember to have our daily dose of at least seven to eight glasses of water. Besides its many health benefits, water is also a great partner to have in the weight loss process.
Here are the symptoms which show that you are suffering from water deficiency:
- The colour of your urine is dark - The colour of your urine indicates your health. The lesser the water you drink, the darker is the colour of your pee. If your urine is pale yellow, you drink a sufficient amount of water. If it's dark yellow and concentrated, it's a sign for you to refill on water. Also, if you haven't urinated for more than two hours, you should immediately gulp 2 glasses of water.
- You feel dizzy and fatigued - Lack of water can often lead to laziness and restlessness. It may also cause a rapid change in your blood pressure. Low or high blood pressures are stimulants of fatigue. Water gives you instant energy that wakes up your whole system, thus making you feel revitalised.
In case you have a concern or query you can always consult a specialist & get answers to your questions!
