10 signs you’re not drinking enough water

Thirst can be mistaken for hunger. Before giving in to a snack, drink a glass of water and wait a few minutes.

Slow transit

Water contributes to more comfortable digestion. A lack of it can make bowel movements slower and less pleasant on a daily basis.

Muscle stiffness and discomfort

Regular hydration contributes to the overall flexibility of the body, especially if you move a lot or in hot weather.

Why dehydration sets in silently

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to feel intensely thirsty to be dehydrated. Many women drink too little out of habit, lack of time, or simply forgetfulness. Because the effects appear gradually, they are often attributed to other causes.
