7 Signs You Need to Drink More Water

1. Dry Mouth 

If your mouth feels dry, then it is an infallible sign that you need to drink more water.

2. Dark Urine 

Urine is generally pale yellow to clear when you have sufficient water intake. Dark colour or strong smell is a sign that you need to drink more water.

3. Tears 

While crying, if you are not able to produce tears, then it is a sign that you are dehydrated and need to drink more water.

4. Headache

Even mild dehydration can bring on persistent head pain."We don't know exactly why, but it may have something to do with the fact that dehydration decreases the fluid levels around your spinal cord and brain, which may affect the pressure in your brain," Clark says.For migraine and tension headache sufferers, dehydration is a trigger, according to a 2010 review in the Handbook of Clinical Neurology. The authors cite past research that showed drinking 2 cups of water brought relief to most people.

5. Hunger 

Feeling thirsty can often be mistaken for hunger. People think they are hungry, while in fact, their body is telling them to drink more water. So instead of eating that meal, drink a glass of water first.

6. Dizziness 

Dehydration can also cause us to feel lightheaded, faint or become dizzy. One of the main signs of dizziness caused by dehydration is a sudden rush of lightheadedness when we stand up too fast.

7. Heart Palpitations 

The heart is a muscle like any other which is made up of water. When there are reductions in blood flow and changes in electrolyte concentrations due to dehydration, the timing of the heart can be affected and abnormalities in the heart's beating pattern are experienced.
