Russian doctor explains risks of water shortage in the body

Dr. Oleg Erishkin, an endocrinologist and nutritionist, declared that lack of water in the body, can lead to negative health consequences.

In a talk for Radio Sputnik, the specialist points out that there are signs to pay attention to to avoid dehydration. That is, it is necessary to monitor the body's water balance at all ages, especially when aging.

He says, "In the age of young people, we feel a lack of water in the body, but with age, there is less human sense of this lack. older persons therefore have to pay attention to water balance, which includes anyone over 65 years of age. "

It adds, lack of water in the body increases the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke, because dehydration causes an increase in blood clotting, meaning that people with cardiovascular disease have to pay attention to the water balance in their body.

The specialist notes that it is a sign of lack of water in the body - fatigue, weakness and headaches. The lack of water in the body can also be determined by the color of the urine.

1. He says, "Fatigue, weakness
2. headaches and malaise are signs of dehydration
3. The more dark the urine, the more pronounced the dehydration
4. and if the urine is thatched, it indicates that everything is fine. "

It adds, to compensate for the lack of water in the body can take any drink such as tea and juices. However, consideration must be given to the high sugar content of juices, i.e. this option is not the best, especially if the person is diabetic or obese. If a person wants to drink coffee, they should pay attention to it as a diuretic, so they should have a glass of water with a cup of coffee.

According to him, the temperature of the water we drink is also important. Cold water is slowly absorbed by the body, while warm water is quickly absorbed. So it is better to drink water at room temperature.
