How Drinking Pure Water Can Improve Your Health

Since most of us are no longer tuned in to your bodies the way our ancestors were hundreds of years ago, we may be overlooking our body’s needs for water. The major symptoms of dehydration are thirst, dry skin, dark colored urine and fatigue but there are some commonly overlooked symptoms of chronic dehydration:

• Digestive problems such as constipation
• Urinary tract infections
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Premature aging
• High cholesterol
• Weight gain

So, How Much Water Should We Drink?

Well, the “enough” amount of water should be able to turn your urine a light-colored yellow. If you are outside on a hot day or doing an energy consuming activity, it is recommended to increase the water intake. It is also important to note that as we age, our thirst mechanism works less efficiently. Thus, older adults need to pay more attention to the color of their urine to see if their water intake is adequate.
