3 extremely serious consequences of the habit of not drinking water

Most of us don't drink enough water because we're afraid of having to urinate so often. Some people don't even realize they're drinking so little water until their doctor tells them they have kidney disease.

The biggest harm of not drinking enough water is kidney disease. In addition, drinking little water also causes the following 3 terrible effects:

1. Dehydration due to drinking beer

You think that drinking a little beer is harmless, and if you don't like drinking plain water, you can drink beer instead of water, as long as you don't get drunk. Is that really the case?

Beer doesn’t hydrate you, it dehydrates you. An average 60kg person produces 60ml of urine at a time, but if he drinks a glass of beer, he will produce another 120ml. Frequent urination leads to dehydration.

Many people wonder why people used to drink beer like water in the past, they didn't have any diseases. That's right, a long time ago, beer was used as a substitute for contaminated water. People drank beer without drinking water. But beer at that time only contained 0.5% alcohol, while beer today contains 4-6% alcohol. When this amount of alcohol enters the body, it will increase the amount of urine excreted.

So every time you drink a glass of beer, remember to drink a glass of water. Drink as much beer as you need to replace it with water to avoid dehydration.

2. Loss of concentration

A study found that when drivers were well-hydrated, they made only 47 minor mistakes while driving. But when they were dehydrated, they made 101 mistakes, and these mistakes could be fatal. That’s the same number as drunk driving.

A study conducted by Loughborough University (UK) in which participants were allowed to drink 200ml of water every hour, but only 25ml of water on the day of the test. When dehydrated, fatigue increases and you fall into a state of brain fog. Therefore, if you let your throat dry up, you will make many mistakes when driving, such as driving in the wrong lane, illegally overtaking, not paying attention to observation...

Studies have shown that driver distraction is the cause of 90% of serious accidents, not disasters falling from the sky. So always carry a bottle of water with you and take a sip or two when needed. You should also avoid caffeine and soft drinks because they cause dehydration.

3. Gain weight because of laziness in drinking water

You just had a full lunch but only 2 hours later you feel hungry. So you have to snack, often like that makes you gain weight.

You wonder what’s going on? Why is your appetite coming on so fast? You suspect you have worms, or even diabetes. All of these things could be true, but most likely you’re just thirsty.

75% of Americans are dehydrated without realizing it. And many people don’t know the difference between hunger and thirst. Both conditions share symptoms of fatigue, headaches, restlessness, and irritability. But when you’re hungry, your stomach rumbles, and when you’re thirsty, your mouth dries.

Therefore, you should drink a glass of water about 30 minutes before eating a main meal or snack. This way, you will absorb water more effectively and stomach acid will not be diluted during the process of digesting food.
