4 Weird Signs you’re Dehydrated!
May 01, 2020
So, what are those less obvious signs of dehydration?
Your liver needs water to function properly. When it doesn’t get it, it signals to your brain that you need fuel. Instead of craving water, though, it tends to make you think you’re hungry, causing food cravings. Always try and drink a glass of water before you tuck into some food – it could stop you over-eating too!
2. Bad Breath
Saliva has bacteria-fighting properties. If you’re dehydrated, your saliva levels go down and so does your mouth’s ability to fight odour-causing germs. If you notice that you suddenly have bad breath for no reason, try drinking more water regularly. That alone may clear it up.
3. You Stop Sweating
It seems like this would be a sign that you’re not dehydrated, but it can be a marker that you have heat exhaustion or heat stroke. This typically happens because your “volumes of fluid are so low that the body is trying to hold on to what you have. If this happens to you, you need to get help immediately and see a doctor.
4. You Feel Confused
Feeling confused or out of sorts can be a sign of a few things. But if you haven’t had a lot to drink recently, it can definitely be a tip-off that you’re dehydrated. It’s usually not something that comes on suddenly, unless you’re working up a sweat on a hot day.
So the best thing is to always make sure you drink enough water – you could avoid some unpleasant symptoms pretty easily!
