Dehydration - Natural Home Remedies For Dehydration - Dehydration can be defined as "the excessive loss of water from the body." Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract can lead to dehydration in various ways. Often, dehydration becomes the major problem in an otherwise self-limited illness. Fluid loss may even be severe enough to become life-threatening. Dehydration occurs when you lose more fluid than you take in and your body doesn't have enough water and other fluids to carry out its normal functions. If lost fluid remains unreplenished, you may suffer serious consequences. Causes of Dehydration: One common cause of dehydration in teens is gastrointestinal illness. Side Effects of Alcoholism - Cancer 2-4% of all cancer cases are related to alcohol. Upper digestive tract cancers are the most common, hitting the esophagus, mouth, larynx, and pharynx. Women who drink prior to menopause are more likely to develop breast cancer. Your risk of skin cancer doubles if you drink slightly more than "moderate levels." Some studies implicate alcohol in colon, stomach, pancreas and lung cancer. Avoid the Dangers of Dehydration with Healthy Drinking Habits - Deyhdration is often not considered a serious medical condition, except in reference to lesser-developed Third World nations. Yet an estimated 500 children in the United States die annually from dehydration, and over 50,000 are hospitalized due to dehydration in combination with other diseases. While children are more susceptible to dehydration than adults when exercising in the heat, kids can become dehydrated throughout the year at a variety of activity levels. Can Water Really Help You Look and Feel Great? - As much as 75% of adults suffer from mild, chronic dehydration, a condition that dramatically works against your weight loss efforts. Discover why water consumption must be at the top of your list in your quest for a fit, healthy and athletic body. Though you probably don't think about it often, water is the most essential element, next to air, to your survival. Costa Rica - Tips To Avoid Health Problems - Costa Rica is undoubtedly one of the top travel destinations in the world. That being said, it is a destination where you can run into health problems if you are not careful. Costa Rica - Tips To Avoid Health Problems Costa Rica is a stunning country in Central America. It is definitely one of the top destinations for travels the world over. The country is unique in that it offers a little bit of everything from pristine beaches to soaring mountains to incredible rain forests. Whether you want to surf, hike to see exotic animals or do a bit of wind surfing, Costa Rica can offer it all. How to Stay Healthy as You Travel - Many of us love to travel but it has a tendency to play havoc with our regular healthy lifestyles. What can I eat when I'm on the go? Are you Chronically Dehydrated? - For many of us, when we hear the term dehydration, we immediately think of a man staggering in the desert, or an athlete having just finished a gruelling event. We are correct in a sense, however these are both examples of acute dehydration. You may be surprised to learn there is a far more widespread form - chronic dehydration - that we should all be concerned with. So how do you know if you are chronically dehydrated? Again, many people have the belief that when they require fluids they will feel thirsty. Not so. By the time the mouth is dry and you feel thirsty, the body is well and truly dehydrated. The Bad Energy Drink Buzz - You don't have to look far to get recent energy drink-related news. They are consistently a controversy in the news. The public touts all sorts of concerns - ranging from tooth decay to life-threatening caffeine and sugar dosages. These apprehensions over energy drinks are even more alarming when you realize that the energy drink market is primarily made up of unsuspecting children and teenagers...possibly your own kids! Consumer reports show that the market for energy drinks has increased to over 75 percent just this past year; taking over for the once, more popular, soda market. Dehydration: A Common Problem - Dehydration is more common than you may think. It's a commonly-known problem, occurring when the body looses too much fluid without having it replenished, but many people think that you only get dehydrated when you're extremely thirsty and are exercising for a long period of time or stuck out in the Sahara desert with a cup of water and miles and miles of sand between you and the nearest oasis. Of course, these examples are both true. What You're Thirsting For: The Revitalizing Properties of Water - It's 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and you're looking for something to haul you out of the energy slump. The top choices are often sugar- or fat-laden snacks from a vending machine or beverages loaded with caffeine. Sweet snacks can actually create surges and dips in blood sugar, which can make you feel more lethargic. And fatty foods do little for your energy levels. That donut may have seemed like a good idea when you were famished, but, soon, it's as though you can feel it sitting in your gut, weighing you down. Dry Skin, Oily Skin and Dehydration - Our skin contains two most important elements : oil and water. The oil is produced by oil (sebaceous) glands located in the skin. The purpose of this oil is to create a very thin film which protects the skin from environmental aggressions, such as dust, sun, wind, dry air, air-borne bacteria. This oil film has a slightly acidic ph., one more protection factor. Overproduction of oil will lead to oily skin, while underproduction of oil will result in dry skin. Water is the second very important ingredient in the skin. Drinking the well-known 8 glasses a day will help maintain a useful level of water in the face skin, but outside factors can still interfere. Dry heated air, very dry air-conditioned air, are only two of the most common reasons for loosing water content from the skin. Do You Know If You Are Dehydrated(R) - Keeping your body hydrated is extremely important to your health and you need to know the warning signs of dehydration so you can take action, especially if you have a very active lifestyle. Your body needs a minimum of 64 oz of water per day. That's at least 8 glasses of water and you could probably drink more. If you live in a warmer climate then you may need to drink more than 8 glasses. If you active in sports or have a hectic stressful lifestyle then you may also need to drink more. You should: 1) Start drinking water soon after you wake up. A squirt of lemon is a good idea for your first glass of the day. 2) Take sips rather than gulping down water all at once.
