Signs Of Dehydration
ARE YOU WORRIED YOU MAY BE DEHYDRATED?
Dehydration may show up as:
Brain fog
Dark urine and/or decreased urination
Muscle cramps
Dry mouth, lips, gums
Dry skin
Headaches
Low blood pressure
Trouble sleeping
Weakness + dizziness
Fatigue
These are a handful of signs to look out for when your body does not hold on to enough water + electrolytes in order to maintain a healthy balance your cells require to function at their best. Severe dehydration can lead to hospitalization and should be managed early on.
HOW DOES DEHYDRATION OCCUR?
We experience dehydration when the body does not have a proper balance of water and electrolytes within the cells. Important electrolytes are sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium and chloride to name a few. Sodium helps move water in and out of our cells to maintain a proper balance - or homeostasis - within the body. Without this balance, you can easily become dehydrated resulting in your brain and muscle function beginning to suffer.
You are more vulnerable to dehydration when you are sick, vomiting, have diarrhea, sweat excessively, don’t consume enough food or fluids with a balance of nutrients, have certain medical conditions, or consume things such as coffee or alcohol excessively which lead to a depletion of fluid balance.
WHO IS AT RISK?
Everyone is susceptible to dehydration every now and then, but these groups are at higher risk:
Athletes
Occupations exposed to direct sun/heat: first responders, agriculture and construction workers, mail delivery workers, life guards, landscape workers
Older adults
Individuals with viral or bacterial illness paired with diarrhea and/or vomiting
HOW TO FIX DEHYDRATION:
Drinking water alone will not replenish your body. Water lacks important electrolytes and many rehydrating drinks on the market lack a proper blend of vital nutrients or are packed full of sugar. You need more than water to hydrate your body in order to performs at its best.

IV hydration allows a blend of fluids, electrolytes, and added vitamins to get absorbed directly into the bloodstream - bypassing the time and inefficiency of your digestive tract.
