Q. What are the 5 signs you don’t drink enough water ?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Here are five signs that might indicate you're not drinking enough water:
Dark or Infrequent Urination: Dark yellow or amber-colored urine is a sign that you might not be adequately hydrated. Additionally, if you're urinating infrequently (less than 4 times a day), it could indicate dehydration.
Dry Mouth and Thirst: Feeling thirsty often and experiencing a dry or sticky sensation in your mouth can be signs that your body needs more fluids.
Fatigue and Low Energy: Dehydration can lead to reduced energy levels and feelings of tiredness or fatigue, even with mild activities.
Headaches: Dehydration can trigger headaches or worsen existing ones. If you're experiencing unexplained headaches, it might be related to your hydration status.
Dry Skin and Lips: Insufficient water intake can lead to dry, flaky skin and chapped lips. Your skin may also lose its usual elasticity and appear less plump.
