Water is essential for keeping your body working normally. It helps you stay hydrated and removes waste. Every day, your body loses about two quarts of water when you exhale, sweat, and urinate. Physical activity, and extreme heat and humidity in the summer months, can cause you to lose even more water.
You may not always feel thirsty when you are dehydrated, so it is important to drink fluids even if you do not feel thirsty. Symptoms of dehydration include dry skin, dark-colored urine, dizziness, constipation, increased heart rate, muscle cramps and nausea.
By drinking enough fluid every day and knowing the symptoms of dehydration, you can help your body stay healthy.
