New research by the National Institutes of Health has discovered that being dehydrated can make us age faster, raise our risk for chronic disease, and increase the likelihood we’ll die early!
So we now know that staying hydrated is proven to help reduce joint pain, maintain normal body temperature, prevent constipation, and reduce the risk for kidney stones and even kidney failure.
For this study, researchers analyzed data from more than 11 thousand middle-aged adults over a 25-year span. They found that people who were severely dehydrated were 64% more likely to develop stroke, heart arrhythmia or peripheral artery disease. They also had a higher risk of chronic lung disease, diabetes, and dementia. And overall, they were about 20% more likely to die early !
So how do we know when we’re hydrated?when our pee is the color of lemonade. but Any darker than that , and we need more liquid.
