1. Causes of Dehydration

Not drinking enough water is one way in which the body becomes dehydrated but there are numerous other factors. Exercise, sauna, certain medications, and specific diseases can all lead to dehydration.

2. Symptoms

Being thirsty is an obvious sign you need more water but there are others to look out for as well. Headaches, lightheadedness, dizziness, and brain fog are just a few to watch out for.

3. Electrolytes

Drinking plain water with no electrolytes is not going to allow you to absorb water to the greatest degree. Try adding 1/2-1 lemon or lime and a pinch of sea salt to your water to create your own natural electrolyte drink.
