Dehydration is more than not drinking enough water. The symptoms of dehydration can range from mild to threatening. Scientists reveal that water makes up a large percentage of blood, the life giving red liquid that brings oxygen, nutrients and vital processes, such as one’s immune system throughout the body.

Dehydration allows cellular waste products to linger and create further havoc. Research has found out that dehydration has a negative effect on one’s brain and can contribute to the development of depression.

The brain consumes vast amount of glucose that is delivered via the blood supply. Dehydration affects the amount of overall blood volume that in return affects the brain. Mild to moderate dehydration can also cause headaches, diminish memory and impair one’s ability to think clearly.
