10 Signs You Are Not Drinking Enough Water

3. Joint Pain
Water is extremely essential to help your body absorb sudden knee-jerk movements like jumping and running. How? Well, our cartilage and spinal discs are made up of almost 80% water, which prevents our bones from grinding against each other when we take every step to walk. So if you feel a sudden joint water, your first recourse should be to grab a bottle of water and go for bottoms-up.

4. Weight Gain
When your body feels a little dehydrated, it may send out signals of hunger rather than thirst. Sometimes, the body won’t tell you that you need water by inducing the feeling of a dry throat, but you might rather start feeling hunger pangs instead. A sedentary person may end up eating rather than drinking water when he/she feels dehydrated. This would eventually lead to weight gain.The body needs enough water to flush out the toxins from your body. And in order to release the fat toxins from your body, all you have to do is drink enough water throughout the day to feed the tissues and cells in your body, which gets the enzymatic system moving. Hydrating yourself well will keep you fresh and improve your metabolism, thereby paving way to cut the excess flab from the body.

5. Pre-mature Ageing
Water intake must increase with age as water retention decreases with age. You skin will start looking dull and wrinkles will become much visible before time if you don’t keep yourself hydrated. While the damage on the outside will be a big blow to your self-esteem, the internal damage will be even worse. So, don’t neglect something as simple as having water throughout the day.

6. Your Urine is Dark Yellow in Colour
First of all, going to the washroom six to seven times a day not a cause of concern, rather it is pretty fine. But if you are visiting just once, that is a problem. Moreover, if your urine is clear or light yellow in colour, it is a sign of a hydrated and healthy body. But in case you suffer for dehydration, your urine will turn dark yellow to warn you. Increase your water intake right away if your urine is dark yellow in colour. In extreme cases, dehydration leads to urinary tract infections.
