Water makes up approximately 75% of our body mass and about 80% of our brain. Even slight dehydration can have a significant impact on our daily lives.
What is dehydration?
The fluid you sweat is composed mainly of electrolytes, other nutrients, and water. Excessive sweating can cause dehydration since you lose a large amount of water. Dehydration occurs when more water is being lost by your body through urine and sweat, and through respiration. We’re constantly using and losing water. Even while we are asleep water passes out of our system with every breath we exhale. While mild dehydration is a loss of 1.5 percent of a body’s normal water volume, a level of hydration just one percent below optimal can affect mood, make it more difficult to concentrate. Our hearts and our brains consist of more water than any other organs of our body. It’s pretty important stuff if we want to function at our best, physically and mentally.
What’s the impact of dehydration?
The human brain is made up of about 75 percent water, the first way that dehydration affects the brain and alters how we think and feel is by slowing the circulation of the fluids. This lowers blood flow, which means less oxygen traveling to all parts of the body, including the brain.
Sometimes mild dehydration can quickly affect mood in a person. It’s one of the human body’s many warning systems that something is not as it should be and should be dealt with. As dehydration worsens, cognitive function is further impaired, leading to delirium, etc. Severe dehydration condition can cause unconsciousness and even coma, finally leading to death.
Tips to increase your water intake:
1. Have a big bottle filled with water at your desk or wherever you go. It’s a good way to keep track.
2. Remind yourself to drink some water after each visit to the toilet to replenish your system.
3. Try herbal teas or adding fresh lemon or lime juice to your water if you struggle with drinking plain water.
4. Drink some water when you wake up in the morning. A great kick start.
5. At meetings with clients or suppliers, always say yes to a glass of water (and a refill).
