5 signs that you are not drinking enough water

Dry Skin
Our skin is the largest organ in our body, and the lack of water makes our skin dehydrated, leading to dry skin that often becomes scaly and patchy. Often the lack of adequate water supply in the body leads to skin conditions like severe breakouts, acne, as well as skin peeling unnaturally. You also tend to sweat more.

Dry mouth
Whenever you feel that your mouth had become unnaturally sticky and feels uncomfortable, you must know the major reason for it is your lack of water intake. Don’t go for cold drinks or other sugary drinks for refuge when you face this condition, because they are only superficial solutions to restore your mouth’s moisture. It is only water that rightly helps you maintain the mucous membranes in the mouth and keeps it moist with saliva.

Dry eyes
Lack of water dries up your tear ducts and this is one of the few reasons why you might often complain of bloodshot eyes that indicate lack of sleep. The scenario is worse for people who wear contact lenses daily, since the eye dryness only doubles for them.

Joint pains
In our body, the spinal discs, as well as cartilage, are composed of 80% water. It is quintessential to maintain this balance to ensure your bones don’t grind against one another. Lack of water disturbs this balance and leads to the issue of joint pains.

Fatigue and lethargy
With lack of water your body becomes dehydrated and thus, to still keep its functions going, it borrows the water from your blood. As your blood suffers from lack of water, it leads to a shortage of oxygen, and when there comes an issue of oxygen shortage, extreme fatigue and feeling lethargic become common issues that one faces.
