You’ve probably felt the signs of dehydration before, but not realized what was causing your problems. It might have been a headache sneaking up on you during a busy day, or a time when feeling like a workout at the gym was harder than it should have been. It could even have impacted you during an afternoon you felt forgetful, but didn’t understand why. Dehydration can be at the root of lots of different scenarios, even if you don’t feel especially thirsty. That’s why it’s important to keep your hydration levels in mind as you go about your day. If you don’t, we’ll show you some ways it can affect you.
Dehydration is more common than people realize. Each year, half a million people in the U.S. are treated for the condition in hospitals, and surveys have shown 75% of people are chronically dehydrated. It’s a big deal when you consider that about 60% of our bodies are made up of water. Shanthi Appelö, a registered dietitian for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, said when people are not properly hydrated, it can impact the balance of minerals, salt, and sugar in the body, leading to a host of issues. And thirst is not necessarily a reliable trigger to drink more water, especially as people age.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, a nonprofit mutual insurance company, is an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association. BCBSM provides and administers health benefits to more than 4.4 million members residing in Michigan in addition to employees of Michigan-headquartered companies who reside outside the state.
