before mild dehydration becomes a more serious problem.
What Happens When You Become Dehydrated?
Your body depends on water for many essential functions. It helps regulate temperature, transport nutrients, support digestion, and maintain normal blood circulation.
When you lose too much fluid, your body begins making adjustments to conserve what remains.
One of the first things you may notice is increased thirst. Your urine may also become darker and more concentrated.
Other possible symptoms include:
- Dry mouth or lips
- Headache
- Tiredness or weakness
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Reduced urination
- Dark-yellow urine
