Hydration – Indicators

Transcript

Generally, thirst is a good indication that you need to drink water. Although for people with a chronically dry mouth, this may not be the best indicator of your fluid status. The color of the urine is also a good indicator. The closer the urine is to being clear like water, the more hydrated you are and your body is not concentrating at all. And vice versa. The more dehydrated you are, your body hangs onto water and the more yellow and darker your urine is.
