Did you know that nearly 60% of the human body is composed of water? Regardless of your age, sex or ethnicity, your body needs adequate hydration to survive. In fact, the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is: about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men and about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women. Are you getting enough?
There are many factor that can alter the recommended water intake for each person. For example, certain medications can trigger dehydration or heavy exercise can induce the need more fluids than the average person. There can also be acute bouts of dehydration, such as after running a big race or having the stomach virus as well as chronic dehydration. When you don’t get enough fluids on a regular basis, your body and overall health will suffer. Every cell in the human body needs fluids to function.

Being dehydrated, however, isn’t always obvious. There are many people who assume they are properly hydrated but could feel so much better if more fluids were introduced into their body. If you are suffering from the following symptoms, poor fluid intake could be the problem:
