1. Dry skin that cannot be nourished by lotions

It is normal for the skin to change depending on the season. It's dry and lifeless in the winter, but a little moisturizer usually fixes the situation. If that doesn't help, maybe your skin is dehydrated and that's why it's lost its glow, and it's looking for water.

2. Dry and chapped lips and excessive thirst

If your mouth and tongue are dry and sticky, and you feel thirsty, it's time to drink water and replace the lost fluid. This can be a sign of some other problems, so see a doctor if it doesn't go away after a few days of increased water intake.

3. You have frequent headaches

Taking more water into the body could prevent headaches. The National Headache Foundation warns that headaches are a sign that you are experiencing mild to moderate dehydration. Insufficient fluid intake can cause migraines, and avoid sweet or excessively salty sports drinks, which can cause even more damage.

4. You are tired

If you get enough sleep but still feel tired, you may be dehydrated.

5. You're gaining weight

Studies have shown that drinking half a liter of water can speed up the body by up to 30 percent. So it's no surprise that drinking plenty of water is an integral part of any healthy eating plan.

6. Fight constipation

If you have trouble going to the toilet, you may need to increase your water intake. Dehydration is the leading cause of chronic constipation.

7. You have a urinary tract infection

Urinary tract infections can occur for a number of reasons, one of which is dehydration. By drinking water, we help flush out bacteria from the bladder. One of the signs that the body lacks fluid is dark colored urine or a frequent need to urinate. If you feel like you have an infection, see your doctor and start drinking more water.

8. You are irritable

Some research has shown that mild dehydration can lead to neurological changes that affect our focus and make us irritable.

9. You have muscle cramps

Experts say that blood circulation slows down when we drink too little water. Our body tries to compensate for the fluid by taking it from the muscles in order to protect the vital organs, and unpleasant and painful cramps occur.
