VBD Magazine – Sneaky Dehydration

YOU COULD BE DEHYDRATED AND NOT KNOW IT.

Dehydration can range from mild to severe and it affects the homeostasis of your body. Dehydration can be recognized many times because it could be accompanied by thirst that is not relieved by drinking water. This can be caused by medications, too much caffeine, salt, garlic, or soy sauce, excessive alcohol, dry climate, and high altitudes. Certain medications like Metformin can also be implicated.

THE DANGERS OF DEHYDRATION At times, you only need to make sure you’ve had sufficient water intake. If you know you have had sufficient water and you are still feeling thirsty, you may be suffering from some form of dehydration. Dehydration can be dangerous and can lead to a heart attack, cause you to pass out, and could even cause death.
