True enough, but keep in mind that sometimes your thirst mechanism doesn\u2019t kick in until you\u2019re already running fairly \u2018dry\u2019 \u2013 which is one reason why athletes, especially, are encouraged to drink on a schedule. Also, as people age, the thirst response isn\u2019t quite as strong, which is why establishing a healthy \u2018drinking habit\u2019 as a young adult is so important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your urine is dark<br>When your body is well hydrated, you can tell by looking at the color of your urine. If it\u2019s relatively clear \u2013 enough that you could read the newspaper through it \u2013 then you\u2019re good. Without enough water, your urine becomes concentrated, and dark in color. Your urine should look more like lemonade, and less like apple juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019re constipated<br>Proper bowel function relies on adequate fluids, so if you\u2019re constipated, it\u2019s possible that you aren\u2019t drinking enough water. Most people consider fibre the most important factor in ensuring a well-functioning digestive tract. But in order for certain fibres (the water-soluble ones) to properly do their job, they need to soak up water, which causes the fibres to swell up \u2013 adding bulk and aiding elimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your breath isn\u2019t as sweet as it could be<br>When your mouth gets dry, there\u2019s less saliva to wash away the naturally occurring bacteria that live there. As the bacteria feed on little bits of food and skin cells in your mouth, they start to multiply, leaving your breath a little stale \u2013 think \u201cmorning mouth\u201d. Water helps because it keeps the saliva flowing and can help reduce bacterial build-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your workouts aren\u2019t as good as they could be<br>Water is critical in helping your body produce the energy your muscles need to fuel your workouts. When you\u2019re not well hydrated, you may feel your energy flagging. That\u2019s why getting enough fluids before and during exercise is so important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><em>Susan Bowerman is Director of Nutrition Training at Herbalife.
