Water does the body good. We all heard the fact that if you drink 2 glasses of water before a meal, it will help you lose weight. This is correct, because you will eat less calories when you fill your belly with water before starting to eat. But are there health issues that can be easily solved by drinking more water? Yes, there are!
10 unrelated health issues and one easy remedy
Feeling tired? Drink a glass of water and wait 10 minutes. If you start to feel energized then it means that you were dehydrated. Water is a source of energy for your body. Your brain is made up of about 75% water. So when your brain cannot pull the needed water from the circulation, it widens the blood vessels leading to it. Widening the blood vessels reduces your blood pressure. Low blood pressure can make you feel tired or dizzy. So only by drinking more water, you can feel more energized!
Dark yellow (brown or maroon) pee? Drink, drink, drink! You are dehydrated and you need to drink more water. Dark pee is concentrated urine. It is most commonly due to dehydration. If drinking more water doesn’t change the color of your pee to see-through yellow, then you need to visit your doctor. Dark yellow pee may also serve as a warning sign that excess, unusual, or potentially dangerous waste compounds are circulating in your body. Dark brown urine may indicate liver disease and bloody pee is an indication of other problems, including direct injury to the kidneys. Or that you drank too much beetroot juice and forgot about it. However, any change in the color of your pee not due to eating certain foods or taking certain medications should be reported to your doctor. If you see blood in your pee, report it to your doctor immediately.
Feeling feverish? Drink up! Feeling lightheaded, dizzy or tired are all signs of dehydration. People reported that drinking larger amounts of water when feeling feverish helped them clear it up! So next time you feel like you are coming up with a fever or feeling like you will get sick, try drinking more water!
Having a headache? Keep yourself hydrated! One study found that 1 in 10 subjects experienced water-deprivation headache, aching in the majority and accentuated by head movement, bending down, or walking. Most of the subjects felt relieved within 30 minutes by drinking 6,7 oz to 50 oz (200 ml to 1500 ml) water, the others felt relieved within 1 to 3 hours by drinking 17 oz to 33 oz (500 to 1000 ml) of water. And 1 subject required sleep in addition to fluid intake.The study speculates that water deprivation may play a role in migraine, particularly in prolonging migraine attacks.
Feeling constipated? Drink more water! You can relieve constipation by drinking more water! Constipation happens when the poop still in your colon gets dehydrated. Your body draws water gets from the large intestine to keep your body hydrated. So not drinking enough water may cause constipation. When your body doesn’t get enough water, your body withdraws water from everywhere, even from your poop. So your poop will become dry and hard. It will be difficult for this dry and hard poop to move through the colon. You can easily avoid constipation if you keep yourself hydrated.

Joint pain? Stiffness? You need to lubricate your joints! How can you lubricate your joints? Yes, you guessed it! By drinking more water! Water can relieve joint pain easily.
