How do you know if you are sufficiently hydrated

When you do not have enough water, your body suffers. One of the interesting side effects could be feelings of hunger. This hunger pang is a "false" signal and it is another way that your body tries to get you to ingest liquids other than feelings of "thirst".

That is why you will put on more weight, because you feel "hungry" and eat when actually all your body needs is a glass of water. So, how to tell if you are sufficiently hydrated?

To know if you are dehydrated, here are 4 tell-tale signs

1. A dry mouth is the LAST outward sign of dehydration.

2. If you are thirsty, your cells are already severely dehydrated.

3. Your urine is dark or orange colour when you are severely dehydrated.

4. Your urine is yellow when you are somewhat dehydrated.

So, when you are hydrated, your urine is colourless. Drink plenty of water. It is healthy, keeps you feeling full, and prevents over eating.
