We lose water through urination, respiration and by sweating. Diuretics such as caffeine and alcohol result in the need to drink more water because they trick our bodies into thinking we have more water than we need.

Symptoms of mild dehydration include chronic pains in joints and muscles, lower back pain, headaches and constipation. A strong odour to your urine, along with a yellow or amber colour, indicates that you’re not getting enough water. Thirst is an obvious sign of dehydration, though in fact you need water long before you feel thirsty.
