On average the human body can only exist without fluid for around three days, so, your body will be eager to inform you of its refreshment needs. The average human body is made up of around 70pc water so it goes without saying that apart from oxygen, water is of the greatest necessity to your health and very existence. So, how does your body tell you that it needs a drink of some kind? Well, unless you are a person of extreme habit whereby you have a drink on the hour, every hour during the day, you will find that whilst busy, for some unknown reason the thought of making yourself a tea or coffee, will come into your mind and you are bound to leave what you are doing and head for the kettle or tap. If you chose to ignore the thought, your mouth and tongue may become dry and sticky, if you ignore that, next time you visit the bathroom, you may find that your urine is darker in colour than normal, or may have a strong aroma. Dehydration, can cause many different symptoms, including: headaches, fatigue, constipation, heatstroke and kidney problems. So, listening to your body when it is asking for some fluid intake as it is essential to your health and wellbeing. If you decide to drink water, you are best drinking from a glass, as opposed to a plastic bottle, and make sure your tap outlet is clean as mould and mildew can build up inside the tap, the way to clean it is to use a clean toothbrush to scrub the spout, from where the water flows out. Keep drinking and well hydrated, although, keep alcohol limited.
