Your body needs to be hydrated to function at its best, there are many reasons why you may be dehydrated, with diarrhoea and vomiting being two of the most common causes of dehydration. When you’re dehydrated, your body won’t just be missing water, but essential salts that your body needs too. If you are dehydrated, you may experience the following symptoms:
- Feeling thirsty
- Dark yellow or strong-smelling urine
- Dizziness or light-headedness
- Tiredness
- Dry mouth, lips, or eyes
- Not using the bathroom as much as usual, or fewer than 4 times a day
If you are feeling dehydrated, you could use rehydration sachets to help to provide your body with the water and salts it needs to avoid these symptoms and function properly.
