What Happens to Your Body When You Don’t Drink Enough Water

  • Mood Changes and Mental Fog: Dehydration can negatively affect your cognitive performance, leading to difficulty concentrating, confusion, irritability, and mood changes.
  • Sugar Cravings: Sometimes, your body can confuse thirst signals with hunger, particularly cravings for sugary foods, as it tries to access energy stores. 
    • Potential Complications of Severe Dehydration
    If left untreated, severe dehydration can lead to serious complications including heat exhaustion, heatstroke, kidney stones, kidney failure, seizures due to electrolyte imbalance, and potentially life-threatening low blood volume shock.
