It’s important to be aware of dehydration symptoms. And not just in Summer!
Symptoms can range from having a dry mouth, feeling thirsty and lethargic, having cracked lips, a headache and dark colour urine to creating very serious health conditions including confusion, hallucination, a racing heart and even kidney failure.
The key is to drink plain water regularly all the time, even in Winter but especially when it’s hot and when you exercise. Carry water with you when you leave the house and keep your home a comfortable temperature by opening the windows and turning on the fan or air conditioner on hot days.
