You may think that all those telling you that you need to drink water are just a bunch of mother grundies, and that you are fine because you drink sufficient other liquids such as tea, coffee and juice throughout the day, but you are dead wrong; your body needs water!
Not drinking sufficient water can lead to dehydration, and this can be very dangerous for your health, and can even cause some life-threatening problems such as:
Constipation: Dehydration will cause your body to find water wherever it can to ensure that your vital organs remain hydrated, including from the colon, which will make your stool hard and cause difficulty in eliminating waste.
Dizziness: When there is insufficient water in your body to be distributed where needed, it can cause light-headedness and dizziness when you suddenly stand up as a result of movement causing the little water in your body to drain away from your brain and heart. This could be especially dangerous if you are working with machinery or at any height.
Dry Skin: The human body will always fight to preserve life, so when it feels that there is a lack of water, it will suck water from the largest organ, the skin, in order to fuel vital organs like the heart, brain and lungs, resulting in a dry, less elastic, flaky skin.
Impaired Kidney Function: The human kidneys process around 200 litres of blood daily, eliminating waste and transporting urine to the bladder – when there is a lack of water in the body, the kidneys cannot do their job properly and this could result in kidney stones or bladder infections.
Impaired Brain Function: The human brain is around 90% water, and when there is a shortage of water in the body it will result in the brain not being able to function optimally, resulting in problems with cognitive thinking and reasoning, the ability to perform involved calculations, and more.
