There is nothing more refreshing in this world than a glass of cold water. It creates more pleasure and is more useful for health than a cup of coffee or carbonated water.

But there are not many people who drink enough water a day. The French site Sympa-Sympa.com publishes 12 signs that you recognize that you lack sufficient amounts of vital fluid.

Dry mouth

The symptom is more visible than the effects of it. Naturally, when you experience this feeling, you start looking for a drink, but juices and carbonated beverages are just a temporary solution to the problem. Drinking water provides hydration for a long time.

Dry skin

Skin is the largest organ in the human body and naturally, it has to be hydrated. Dry skin is one of the first symptoms of complete dehydration - a problem that can lead to very severe effects.

Lack of water also means lack of sweat, which means that the body can no longer self-purify or eliminate excess fat and regulate it thermally. The solution to all these problems is very simple - drink more water.

Unusually great thirst

It's not like having a dry mouth. If you have a hangover, you know this feeling that you can not quench your thirst even when you drink large amounts of water. Alcohol dehydrates the body, and the brain sends alarm signals. Listen to your body, your body knows what it needs.

Your eyes are dry

One of the signs of lack of water in the body is the feeling of dryness in the eyes. Without enough water, the drainage channels are dried and this may affect your eyes, especially if you wear contact lenses.

Joint pain

Joints and cartilage consist of 80% water, and this part of our body is very important because it prevents the scrubbing of bones in every movement. By maintaining a good level of hydration in the body, joints can withstand strokes in repetitive and/or strong movements such as running or falling.

Your muscular mass decreases

Your muscles also consist mainly of water. The less water you have in your body, the less your muscle mass. Drinking water before, during, and after exercise is not only necessary for you to feel good, but also allows you to reduce the likelihood of soreness and pain associated with exercise.

You need more time to heal than other people

Water allows you to eliminate toxins during the day. Your bodies work on their own to filter what they need, but without water, this mechanism can not function properly.

When dehydrated, the various organs start looking for water where they find it - in the blood, for example. This is the beginning of a long list of problems.

Feel tired and sleepy

When the body begins to deplete the water in the blood, dehydration creates a lack of oxygen for all organs. Lack of oxygen leads to drowsiness and fatigue.

This means that you will feel more tired in the coming days and the coffee will not change anything in the long run.

You are hungry all the time

The dehydrated organism can send hunger signals. This can happen suddenly and whether it is day or night, you are willing to swallow your entire refrigerator or anything that comes close to you.

It is better to hold back and drink a glass of water because your body needs just that.

You have problems with digestion

We have already mentioned the importance of moistening the oral cavity because here is the whole process of digestion. Without this necessary humidification, your internal organs are damaged and stomach and digestion problems occur.

Premature aging

The amount of water our body can contain decreases with age. When we get older, we need to increase water consumption. Although the symptoms of premature aging are primarily manifested externally, the problems that dehydration creates for organs are felt in the long run.

To reduce such risks, you must perceive the good habit of drinking fluids and, above all, water throughout your life.

You have read the article to the end

Most likely, after reading this article, you will think, "Hmmm, I think I do not drink enough water." If this thought has come to your mind, take action now and change your habits.

It is good to drink a little more water than is strictly necessary than to suffer the consequences of dehydration. So drink a glass of water.
