Dehydration and Water Intoxication

What happens if we don’t drink enough water and how do we know if we need to be hydrated without feeling thirsty?

Did you know that our body is made up mostly with water? If we don’t drink enough water we will dehydrate, get really bad headache and worst case scenario you will die.

If you feel thirsty you are already dehydrated, but if you want to know if you are dehydrated you can go to the toilet and if your pee is green you need to drink more water and if you pee is clear you are hydrated.

Water intoxication or other known as hyperhydration or water poisoning is when we drink to much water but this is very rare case.
