Have you ever been so busy that you keep forgetting to drink water? Have you ever felt thirsty and every time, opted for fizzy drinks instead? Ever had a good day significantly extinguished by constipation? Then, this read is just for you.

Water is just as important to the body as food itself, but it would seem that dehydration is not discussed enough. Imagine we had technological devices that read our water levels if we placed them on our bodies. That would be cool, right? How can you know if your water level is screaming red alert since this prototype isn't mainstream yet?

Scientists say that the human body is roughly about 60% water, but you must know this figure hinges on so many biological factors, such as perspiration, uresis, and then bowel movements.

Nevertheless, there are special factors like dysentery, diarrhea, diuretics, diabetes, puking, and even climate. Here, you could lose more water from your very critical body tissues. When these brands of water loss occur, because you don't feel directly thirsty as a result, you don't usually find the need to drink water to replace the expelled fluid.

Well, our bodies have a way of passing a memo about any deficiency, and this is how you know when you have not been taking enough water:

• You start experiencing fatigue
• You frequently feel dizzy
• Your urine develops a dark coloration
• Your skin begins to show a scaly growth
• Frequent occurrence of muscle contraction
• Frightening rate of heart palpitations
• General feeling of energy leak

You don't have to start pressing the panic button just yet. Nonetheless, you have to start taking water like a scrip from a physician, and Bob's your uncle. The thing is, you should know the nuanced reasons why water should now be your best friend just to have a sense of value for it. This brings us to some of the nuts and bolts of water consumption.

• Protection of your spinal cord and other critical tissues
• Lubrication and cushioning of your joints
• Better metabolism for your bodies

If you're big on taste, you could add a wedge of lemon or lime for your delectation as you start your aqua-journey. For those who exercise regularly, every session should be preceded and succeeded with a glass of water. Regardless, you should be acquainted with other nitty-gritty of a good water habit.

• Do not wait till you feel thirsty before you drink water
• Intersperse your meal bites with water sips
• Consume a full glass of it for all your medications

Conclusively, if you are bothered about how far you should go with your water intake, 'unbother' yourselves if you can. Take as much as your tummy can grab. Likewise, be very conscious of sultry climates and quaff extra volumes into your body systems—this applies to everyone. For adults and children, water is much as life-determining as air.
