Weird Dehydration Warning Signs and Natural Treatments

Approximately 60 to 75 percent of Americans don’t drink enough water daily. Research is now showing how much dehydration can impact overall mood and cognitive function, contributing to impairments in vision, perceptive discrimination, tracking, recall, attention, psychomotor skills and memory. Staying hydrated is important for the entire body and its function.

There’s a lot more to dehydration than simply feeling very thirsty. In this episode of Ancient Medicine Today, I share dehydration warning signs, who is most at risk and the best dehydration natural treatments, including the top hydrating foods, water alternatives and lifestyle changes.

Having a longtime gluten issue which developed into celiac I became SOO off. A drunk feeling and after trying a zillion things I realized my electrolytes were totally depleted from the constant diarrhea from the gluten. It’s taken me a very long time to figure out and med docs have been clueless. Finally resolving and rebuilding

1-2 hours before exercise 1 take 1 tbsp raw, organic honey and 1 banana followed by 12 oz of water with a little sea salt..

[brensway]

You forgot the biggest sign and that's fatigue. Water/hydration gives you energy that lasts.

[sandrabumann]

Rapid heartbeat afib, dizziness and anxiety
Those are all my symptoms thank you doe this info

Natural honey is also a great hydrator and it also combats dryness in my eyes and nose very well.

[ruthlynfarrell]

My son lips becomes very dry and cracked. That's one of the sign of dehydration. Great video. Love it.

Been down with a broken leg and not eating or drinking a lot. I started noticing ocular migraines whenever I was getting dehydrated.

+ Dr. Josh Axe As a heavy coffee drinker 2-3 cups caffeinated and 2-3 decaffeinated the Urination isn't accurate as the diuretic affect will cause many "pit stops" and next thing you know a dull headache appears. My rule of thumb 2 "pit stops" 1 glass of water. I developed Vertigo which, for me, was my attention alert for hydration (that and spondylosis). PS. When my kids complain of a headache first they must drink a full glass of water quickly and give it 10 minutes before any medications. Great information and of course I'm a subscriber.

THIS EXPLAINS WHY I WAS HAVING A MIGRAINE AND BRAIN FOG WHILE AT WORK EARLIER

[JH-nbnn]

I lost a significant amount of water and felt these symptoms: stopped urinating, headaches, dull pressure on kidneys, severe muscle weakness, feelings of sudden doom and gloom, zero energy, crying all the time, severe brain fog, depression, severe thirst, insomnia, anxiety, no appetite, nausea when drinking water, feeling chills, blocked ear, cellulite, heart pounding, constipation, dark under eyes, pain when bending muscles, white tongue. It's not funny at all and takes months and MONTHS to correct and you will experience a million symptoms. Not fixable in a week like they say.

[tyrarice]

I have had every single one of these symptoms. I was in denial until I watched this video.

[koolburn]

For YEARS I always thought the majority of headaches were because of hydration. The thing was I always drank a ton of water when I had one, but it never helped. Dr Berg discovered a lot of it is from gallbladder/liver

[angelachapman]

Omg, headache 3 days in a row dizziness for 2 days. I have had viruses that have set off anxiety

[nancysuttonmurray]

Great advice for dehydration..Thanks. While I was deep into the video and then reading comments, hubby sneaked up behind me and handed me a bowl of colorful coleslaw of shredded carrots, purple and yellow cabbage, laden with dressing..

[sarahrevor]

Celery juice is amazing at replenishing electrolytes

[SnarkyStuff]

Oh my...I started sipping my water on my desk while watching this. Very valuable info- thank you!

[Blankenshipable]

Yes…Headache. I had a terrible dehydration headache. I had to go to the ER and get fluids and Ativan.

[sidessherri]

I had a 95% of my colon amputated after spending 3 months in the hospital with sepsis shock. Three surgeries that were performed when one major surgery should have been performed. Due to this I was left with large amounts of scar tissue and adhesions. Making digestion extremely painful. My body even though I drink a gallon of electrolyte drink it still cannot absorb enough fluid and I become dehydrated. Muscle ache, pain. Fainting and dizziness. Headache, chest pain. Total weakness. Inability to concentrate, easily confused. The only thing that helps me is an IV infusion of the nutrients I cannot absorb that creates the dehydration. I live in a small town with poor health care. My Dr. made a plan that when my dehydration occurs get to the clinic for an infusion. Now he has changed his mind I have been terribly sick for the las three days. I have even had two days of angina so bad I have taken five nitroglycerin.
What a life if dehydration is like for me😥
