Dehydration is one tricky issue because you don’t always feel it. You see, you could be mildly dehydrated and not really know what the cause of your lethargy is.
And a lot of what people do leads to dehydration.
So here are some overlooked things that may be dehydrating you:
1. Green tea: Green tea is great, don’t get me wrong here, but it still has caffeine. And although its stimulatory effect is not as harsh as coffee’s, it will still dehydrate you. So be very mindful of your tea intake no matter how healthy it may be.
2. Low level activity: Just because you aren’t sweating and panting doesn’t mean you aren’t losing water. In fact, non-intense activity can dehydrate you more than intense activity because you underestimate how dehydrated you are.
3. Non-stimulating levels of caffeine: Here is the issue, your body gets used to the stimulatory effect of caffeine, but it doesn’t get used to its dehydrating effect. So just because you are no longer getting stimulated from your caffeine intake, don’t assume you aren’t getting dehydrated.
4. Eating too much: Your body needs water to digest food. And if you are eating a high amount of calories with minimal water intake you could be dehydrating yourself via digestion. Now keep in mind that fluids with calories are not as hydrating as water.
5. Not hydrating during the most important moments: There are certain times during the day when you are more dehydrated. One noteworthy period is right when you wake up in the morning. And even if you don’t feel thirsty you still need to drink water.
6. Not having water at your rapid disposal: If you don’t have it close by you are probably not going to drink it. So make sure you have fresh and cold water at arm’s length as much as possible. You see, by decreasing your barriers to fresh water, you increase the chances that you will properly hydrate.
Staying hydrated is critical for optimal mental performance and for the fastest rates of fat loss. So don’t delay here and take action as soon as possible!
