Lack Of Water In The Body - 5 Signs Of It!

Water is indispensable for the human body as 90% of the brain and almost 60% of the adult body is chiefly made up of water. Water is just as important as any of your meals. Each cell and organ depends on water for its proper functioning and for flushing out toxins and fats from the body. An average man must consume roughly 3 liters (10-12 glasses) of water daily, and a woman requires about 2.5 liters (8-10 glasses). If you're not meeting this requirement, you might fall prey to dehydration.

The state of water deficiency or dehydration can be determined through various symptoms. Read on to learn the 5 most common signs:

1. The color of your urine is dark

The color of your urine indicates your health. The lesser water you drink, the darker the color of your p*e. If your urine is pale yellow, you drink a sufficient amount of water. If it's dark yellow and concentrated, it's a sign for you to refill on water. Also, if you haven't urinated for more than two hours, you should immediately gulp 2 glasses of water.

2. You experience frequent headaches

Headaches are often caused by dehydration when the pressure from your blood vessels falls. Dehydration makes it tough for your heart to pump enough oxygen to the brain. Drinking sufficient amounts of water ensures the flow of oxygen in your body.

3. You feel dizzy and fatigued

Lack of water can often lead to laziness and restlessness. It may also cause a rapid change in your blood pressure. Low or high blood pressures are stimulants of fatigue. Water gives you instant energy that wakes up your whole system, thus making you feel revitalized.

4. You have constipated bowel movements

Water is one of the top natural remedies for constipation or troubled bowel movements. If your fluid intake is low, you're likely to have stomach, gastric, and bowel problems. The digestive system depends on water to help food move through both the intestines. It checks the functions of the digestive tract while keeping it flexible and clean.

5. You experience brain fogs and blackouts

Your brain cells and nerves react severely to water loss. You may start feeling a lack of concentration along with temporary memory loss. Blackouts are common when you have a deficit of water. You might even experience difficulty in carrying out cognitive tasks.

If you're experiencing similar issues, you must enhance your daily water intake. You can try carrying a sipper around, which allows you to keep a tab on your water consumption. To relish water as a refreshing beverage, you can infuse freshly chopped fruits and herbs in a pitcher of chilled water. This flavored water also cleanses your body of all toxins and chemicals, thus keeping you fresh.

Serpiginous Choroiditis

Serpiginous Choroiditis is a rare recurrent eye disorder characterized by irregularly shaped (serpiginous) lesions involving the retinal pigment epithelium and the choriocapillaris. No symptoms are apparent unless a macula damaged.
Although of unknown etiology, its origin is probably immunogenic since it seems to respond to treatment with corticosteroids and other immunosuppressants. Moreover, affected patients also show an increased frequency of HLA-B7 and retinal S-antigen associations.
A sudden, painless decrease in vision in one or both eyes may be the first sign of Serpiginous Choroiditis. Patients may also notice blind gaps in the visual field (scotomata) or a sensation of flashes of light (photopsia). Lesions usually begin near the optic disk and may then extend in any direction along the eye layers. Lesions may also begin at other locations and spread toward the optic disk. The disorder has two stages: an acute stage during which lesions develop and/or spread, and a chronic stage during which the disease does not progress but inactive lesions lead to scarring, atrophy, and/or clumping of pigment. Recurrences usually start in scar tissue left by old lesions.
A membrane composed of tiny fibers and blood vessels (subretinal neovascular membrane) may grow from the choriocapillaris and cause vision distortion and/or blurring in some people with Serpiginous Choroiditis. If a neovascular membrane affects the macular region of the retina, central vision loss may occur.
Treatment is not indicated unless the fovea of the retina is affected. When the fovea is involved, anti-inflammatory medication is recommended.
