HEALTH TIPS

• Emotional Swings Are often the result of dehydration according to Professor Don Naismith, Emeritus Professor of nutrition at London University. Drink up, especially if you are in a hot car, an aircraft or in an air- conditioned office. • Bad Breath Waste products that are normally washed out of the body are left in a higher concentration in the throat and mouth. The bacteria that build up can lead to bad breath. • Muscle Cramp Blood carries Oxygen to the muscles. Some experts say that if your water levels are low, muscle cramp could develop during exercise. • Headaches The body is about 75% water but the brain is around 85% water. Being well hydrated is a great way to improve mental agility and concentration levels. So before reaching for a headache pill and water, try just taking the water first! It could be the answer! • Skin Try pinching your skin. If it’s slow to bounce back, you could be dehydrated. As the beauty experts know, water is nature’s best moisturiser. Remember, to achieve the healthy glow that comes from being properly hydrated, drink up. • Dry Mouth If your mouth feels dry or your tongue furry, you’re already dehydrated. • Urine If you’re not drinking enough, your urine will be dark in colour. Ideally, if you are hydrated, the urine should be pale, straw-coloured. Drinking plenty of water helps prevent kidney stones and also helps reduce the risk of infections. Check the colour of your urine – if it’s light, you’re alright! • Constipation One of the major causes of constipation is lack of fluid in the intestine, which slows the free flow of the bowel. If you’re following a high fibre diet, you need the right amount of water to flush out your body. • Lethargy If you can’t concentrate, it could be that your liver is dehydrated and isn’t able to work at the optimum level to eliminate toxins, making you feel sluggish.
