I probably see 50% of the patients that I see every day will come in with symptoms of dehydration. The majority of people who are dehydrated they walk in and their tired, they have no energy, they feel depressed, they have stomach issues, they have headaches, they have dry skin, they have flares of allergies, they have problems with their joints.

All of these things are affected by how much water you take in.

Simple hydration basically nourishes every organ tissue and system in your body. So it nurtures all of your organ systems and it makes them function properly. If you don’t have that water for your organs and your cells in your body to function they’re not going to perform well.

Interestingly another common symptom of dehydration is…

Dizziness is another one I see. People come in and they say, “I’m dizzy.” And I’m like well we can examine every and any cause of dizziness and we’ll look and the tough ones and the more serious ones but just to get started start drinking some water. You’d be amazed at 1 week of hydration how much different you can feel.
