Drink more water

[healthier]

If you wait to drink water until you are thirsty, you are already partially dehydrated. Try to drink water throughout the day to maintain a steady state of hydration. If your body isn't getting enough fluids, it may send signals to you to eat more to obtain these fluids.


Many of the fluids people drink are, in fact, dehydrating. Alcohol, coffee, and tea are just some of the fluids that don't return water to our system after it is lost; they simply do not work to re-hydrate us. Below are the signs of dehydration. Be sure to watch for these symptoms, as you can prevent dehydration if you attend to them by drinking more water.

- Headache- Fluid retention, such as swollen ankles.
- Dizziness or confusion
- Elevated heart rate or a weak fluttering pulse
- Urinating only small amounts or a dark urine color
