π§ DID YOU KNOW? You can become dehydrated even on a cold, rainy day.
Itβs Monday, 7 September, and Giyani is having one of those wet, cold days when all you want to do is curl up under a blanket. π§οΈπ₯Ά
But don't let the cold weather fool youβyour body still needs water.
We tend to associate dehydration with hot summer days and sweating, but you also lose fluids through breathing, urination and everyday body functions in colder weather.
When you're not drinking enough, you may experience:
π§ Dry mouth or excessive thirst
π€ Headaches
π΄ Tiredness and low energy
π§ Difficulty concentrating
π Dizziness or light-headedness
π½ Darker urine or urinating less often
How much water do you need?
There isn't one perfect amount for everyone. Your needs depend on your body, activity level, diet, environment and health.
Don't wait until you're thirsty. Keep water nearby and make hydration part of your daily routine.
β Warm drinks can also help you take in fluidsβbut remember that water remains a simple and healthy choice.
And if you're feeling unusually weak, dizzy, confused, or unable to keep fluids down, seek medical attention.
