HydrationWater is essential for life and healthy skin.How the body sources water: According to the European Food Safety Authority our daily intake of water consumed is 70-80% through drinking water and other beverages, and 20-30% through food, with diets rich in fruits and vegetables providing significantly more water compared to higher processed foods.What happens when you’re dehydrated:If you have a shortage of fluid in food supply, and are drinking little throughout the day, your body will source water from elsewhere such as muscle tissues, organs and the skin.When all these options become exhausted, it seeks out water in the last and lease desirable place. The fluid in your waste reservoir, the stool. It is for this reason you may experience dry and difficult to pass stool, which can be incredibly toxic for the body.Further dehydration may present as: Dark, strong smelling urine Little or no urine Dry, cracked skin Dry mouth Lethargy or tiredness Low concentration HeadachesHow to stay adequately hydrated: Start the morning with a large glass of water Make sure fluid intake resembles fluid output Keep a refillable water bottle with you and sip it throughout the day Thirst can be confused with hungry, so if you feel hungry, drink water first.
