Hydration  

College of DuPage Nursing Student Lukas Kubilius wrote for Healthy Lombard that many people frequently get headaches, feel fatigued, or get dizzy because of something that is missing from their lifestyle. The solution to this absent need may be as simple as; adequate hydration.

Not only does drinking enough water keep us in a good mood, but it can also improve the function of the intestine and digestive system. It is important to drink enough water during the day because we don’t obtain adequate hydration solely through our food. Starting the day with a glass of water can improve alertness and assist with keeping one focused throughout the day.

Along with mental clarity, drinking enough water will prevent headaches and dizziness; common symptoms of dehydration. According to Deborah Weatherspoon (2017), the brain may shrink slightly from fluid loss and result in what is called a dehydration headache. Drinking adequate quantities of water through the day can prevent this from occurring.

A potentially serious problem in the digestive system that may occur as a result of inadequate water intake is constipation due to dehydration. If someone is consuming through their diet, enough fiber, constipation may still exist even if there is not enough water intake. Constipation may seem harmless but can lead to further complications, such as an infection. According to Dr. Raponi (2018), drinking adequate quantities of water, keeps things flowing. When the body is lacking in fluid; things become stagnant – understandably.

 

 

The benefits of drinking enough water are abundant. If you begin to make a habit of drinking enough water during the day, you will begin to feel better physically and mentally soon! Once you experience the benefits of proper hydration, you will wonder why you didn’t start sooner.
