Our bodies are approximately two-thirds water. A one percent drop can make us tired. The further the drop the greater the risk of being exhausted, then perhaps fainting. When it drops even further, we risk death. Also, not drinking enough water increases our risk of kidney and bladdar infections. Water helps move the waste material out of our bodies and helps our blood to flow. We need water to survive and enough water helps us to maintain good health.

The 1st thing you may notice is a change in your urine - it tends to become much darker (more yellow than usual) * Dry or sticky mouth * Low or no urine output; concentrated urine appears dark yellow * Not producing tears * Sunken eyes * Markedly sunken fontanelles (the soft spot on the top of the head) in an infant * Lethargic or comatose (with severe dehydration) In addition to the symptoms of actual dehydration, you may also have vomiting, diarrhea, or the feeling that you "can't keep anything down," all of which could be causing the dehydration.

Without water, we'd be poisoned to death by our own waste products. When the kidneys remove uric acid and urea, these must be dissolved in water. If there isn't enough water, wastes are not removed as effectively and may build up as kidney stones. Water also is vital for chemical reactions in digestion and metabolism. It carries nutrients and oxygen to the cells through the blood and helps to cool the body through perspiration. Water also lubricates our joints. We even need water to breathe: our lungs must be moist to take in oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide. It is possible to lose a pint of liquid each day just exhaling. poisoned to death by our own waste products. When the kidneys remove uric acid and urea, these must be dissolved in water.
