What are the tell-tale signs of dehydration?
Telltale signs of dehydration range from mild symptoms such as headaches, feeling lethargic and having difficulty concentrating all the way through to more severe symptoms like muscle cramps and failing kidneys. “It’s easy to forget to drink enough. Thirst is not always reliable as a guide as when you were in your youth, so don’t wait until you feel thirsty before you drink”, says Saxelby. BRITA makes drinking water easier with a wide range of products including reusable water bottles, filter jugs and tap-connected filters that improve the quality and taste of tap water. How much water should you drink every day? As you get older, you need even more fluid. As a foetus your body is made up of over 93% water, however dehydration gradually continues as we age, where the water content drops to only 60% in later years. Aim to drink at least 8 – 10 glasses of water per day for optimal hydration. YOURLifeChoices subscribers can take advantage of an exclusive discount on selected BRITA product
