Are you wondering how to tell if you’re hydrated enough? The color of your urine is a good thing to look at. If it’s light yellow or even colorless, your body is well hydrated. If your urine is amber or dark yellow, it is possible that you are dehydrated.
But what if staying hydrated is difficult for you? Here are some things you can do to get started.
•
Carry a water bottle with you throughout the day.
•
Add a slice of lemon or lime to your water, especially if you tend to get bored of the taste of plain water.
Some other signs that you are dehydrated include:
•
Urinating less frequently
•
Hydrate before, during, and after your workout.
•
Urinating in smaller amounts than normal
•
Drink water if you’re feeling hungry. Hunger is often confused with thirst, and according to some research, drinking water can help you feel full. If you are still thirsty, then you know your body is craving food. Plus, water consumption may contribute to weight loss. Set up a schedule to drink water. This helps you to remember and keep yourself accountable. For example, drink water when you first wake up, during meals, and when you go to bed. Drink water when dining out. It’s free and will keep you from overindulging during the meal! Water is important to every part of your body, so by drinking more water, you can improve your overall health. Drink up!
•
Having urine that is darker in color than usual
•
Suffering from dry mouth
•
Feeling fatigued or extremely thirsty
•
•
Suffering from confusion or frequent headaches
•
Feeling dizzy or lightheaded, especially when standing up
•
•
Lacking tears when crying
Water accounts for more than half of your body weight and you are constantly losing water when you sweat, go to the bathroom, and even breathe. When you are in extremely hot temperatures, have a fever, are sick, suffer from nausea or vomiting, have diarrhea, or when you are physically active, you lose water much faster than normal. In these situations, it is important to increase water intake to avoid becoming dehydrated.
