Tiredness is something that plagues us all at times, and it is hard to know if your tiredness is excessive or normal. Regardless of its extent, there are quite a few simple things one can do to cure tiredness with minimal effort and just slight lifestyle changes. Dehydration symptoms are often a factor in tiredness. "If you become dehydrated, you reduce your blood volume so your heart's got to work harder to pump the same volume around," says Dr Trent Watson, spokesman for the Dietitians' Association of Australia. Here are a few ways to promote health and alertness, reduce fatigue, and remain hydrated.
Dehydration symptoms may include headaches, muscle cramps, visual impairment and lowered blood pressure or hypotension. Even dizziness and fainting can be dehydration symptoms and in extreme cases delirium and unconsciousness have been known to become present. Of course, dehydration that isn’t addressed can eventually cause death.
It only takes a 2% loss of ones normal water volume in the body to start experiencing dehydration symptoms. Thirst is the first thing people usually notice. Dry skin and constipation are additional early warning signs. What’s more, athletes may experience a reduction in athletic performance when they are dehydrated.
