Water, also known as body fluids, makes up most of the body's weight, so always ensuring enough water for the body is essential for good health. However, it is not enough to just drink water, the daily amount of water will depend on factors such as age, health, climate, etc. There are a number of myths and facts regarding rehydration that you need to know in order to find the right rehydration regimen for your body.

Myth 1: The body doesn't get dehydrated if we don't feel thirsty

Fact: The body doesn't always signal dehydration by being thirsty. Because body water (body fluids) can lose 2-3% of your body weight before you even realize you are thirsty. In particular, older people will feel less thirsty, as our natural thirst tends to decrease over time.

To know if the amount of water in the body is deficient, check the color of urine. If it's light and clear, it's likely that you're getting enough water. If it is dark with a brown tint, you may be dehydrated and need immediate rehydration.

Because some vitamin supplements and high-protein diets can also cause a change in urine color, for a more accurate understanding of your body's water status, keep an eye on your urine output. If your body is sufficiently hydrated, you will go to the bathroom every few hours. If you find yourself rarely going to the bathroom, you probably need to drink more water than that.

Myth 2: Each person should only drink 8 glasses of water a day

Fact: Each day we lose about 2500 ml of body water, and this number can be more and varies based on a number of factors such as age, activity level, diet, health and any medications you're taking, everyone's rehydration needs are different. The climate you live in also matters; People who live in hot and humid places will often need to consume more water.

Myth 3: When your body is dehydrated, you just need to drink more water.

Fact: Mild symptoms of dehydration (such as dry mouth, fatigue, headaches, and muscle cramps) can often be treated with water or beverages containing electrolytes (sodium and potassium). Older adults with mild dehydration will usually see a marked recovery within 5-10 minutes of drinking water.

Moderate to severe dehydration symptoms (such as confusion, dry and deeply sunken eyes, severe muscle cramps, low blood pressure, and mobility problems) may require intravenous fluids.
