Do not wait when you start feelig thirsty or when you notice any of the symptoms mentioned below – drink water even if you feel fine.
1. Your Mouth is Dry
That’s one of the most obvious signs signaling that you need water. You can reach for any liquid since now the most important thing is to quench that thirst. Caffeinated drinks as well as sodas and sugary beverages should be consumed as rarely as possible. They do not solve the issue. Only by drinking fresh water can you lubricate the mucus membranes in your throat and mouth. Of course water will keep you hydrated for longer and will have no negative side effects alike the other liquids mentioned above.
2. Your Eyes Are Dry
Not only your throat and mouth are affected if you are dehydrated. Your eyes can suffer, too. A lack of water results in red and dry eyes. You know what happens to the eyes when, after partying and alcohol, you have hangover the next morning. Drink water and do not let your tear ducts dry up. This is a useful tip for those wearing contacts. Having dry, red eyes is not just an aesthetic aspect. It is also a health issue.
