\"water\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Did you know that the human body is made up of 55-75% water? It\u2019s no surprise then,\u00a0 that staying well hydrated is a crucial component to normal body function. There are a number of ways the body loses water each day. It loses water through breathing (2-4 cups per day), sweating (not including exercise-2cups per day), urine and bowel movements (6 cups per day) and foot perspiration (1-2 cups per day).<\/div>\n

All of this water loss must be replaced to avoid dehydration. Dehydration is more common than people think, and you may not even be aware that it’s affecting your life.\u00a0Some common signs of dehydration include: headache, excessive thirst, dry mouth, muscle fatigue, dizziness, decreased cognitive ability and sluggishness.<\/p>\n

If you are suffering from any of the above symptoms, they might just be resolved with two easy steps. 1. Fill a glass with water. 2. Drink it. Seriously, this simple solution is commonly forgotten and often leads to a constant state of dehydration. Along with suffering from the above symptoms, you may also be missing out on these benefits of a well hydrated body.<\/p>\n
