"The physical state of being dehydrated is so common for some people - generally as a result of poor lifestyle choices, they lack the ability to see that their normal state is in fact quite abnormal."

Water, it is the key to life and a precious commodity as very little of it in a liquid state is known to exist in the universe. As for the water within us, when more water moves out of the body than enters we call that resulting state within the body dehydration.

Most people don't consider dehydration as a thing to be concerned about, but most people would be shocked to hear how common it is, this condition is far more common then you could imagine. Here are some key reasons why dehydration is so common:

• 💧 Thirst is not a reliable indicator of the body's need for increased hydration.
• 💧 Most people pay more attention to the fluid level in their car then in their bodies.
• 💧 Many people rely on sugary, caffeinated drinks rather than water which dehydrate the body further.
• 💧 High levels of salt and sugar in the standard diet suck cells dry of vital fluids.
• 💧 All preserved meats which are in abundance in the standard diet cause dehydration.
• 💧 Coffee, the standard conventional beverage is a diuretic and caffeine has been shown to speed up dehydration.
• 💧 Fried foods are a major culprit, standard fried foods contain more than a days worth of dehydrating sodium.
• 💧 Alcohol, another popular beverage is a diuretic and also compounds the effects of dehydration.
• 💧 The physical state of being dehydrated is so common for some people - generally as a result of poor lifestyle choices, they lack the ability to see that their normal state is in fact quite abnormal.
