SIGNS THAT YOUR BODY IS DEHYDRATED

Not only thirst is a sign that you need water. These are the five most common signs your body is giving you:

FATIGUE

If you feel tired during the day, do not forget to drink water instead of drinks that contain caffeine, which you think will keep you awake, but are only dehydrating your body even more. Also, in the morning drink a glass of lukewarm water, because it will “wake up” the digestive system and liver.

DRY SKIN

Most people who have dry skin, often use lotions instead of consuming more water. Water improves circulation in the skin and helps with recovery. Instead of using a lotion for hydration, drink more water and record the results for the appearance of your skin.

EYE INFLAMMATION

If your eyes are inflamed and lack luster (which is often accompanied by dark circles under the eyes), then you are probably dehydrated. The eyes should always be moist; water is essential for the production of tears and keeps the humidity in the glands.

CONSTIPATION

If you do not drink enough water, then it is very likely that you will have problems with bowel function.

HEADACHE AND DIZZINESS

Frequent headaches and dizziness are signs that you immediately need water. Do not try to replace it with soft drinks or other beverages, drink only clean water.

CALORIES IN, CALORIES OUT... NOT SO FAST! IS YOUR THYROID MAKING YOU FAT?

A healthy thyroid gland not only acts as the body's thermostat, but it's also one of the major regulators of metabolism, including FAT BURNING for energy.

Optimal thyroid function can help improve energy levels, motivation, metabolism, healthy weight management and concentration.

Recommended supplements for improving thyroid function:

-Ashwagandha

is an adaptogenic herb, shown to support natural production of the thyroid hormone T4. In one study, researches found that 500mg per day of standardized ashwagandha extract enhanced T4 evels.

-Guggul

is an extract of Commiphora mukul, shown in one study to support the activity of the enzyme that converts T4 into the most actove thyroid hormone T3.

-Korean ginsegn

was found in one study to reduce levels of the inactive thyroid hormone-inhibiting reverse T3 (rT3) and support healthy T3 and T4 levels.

-Iodine and tyrosine which are required for thyroid hormone production

-Vitamin B12, a sufficient level of which is needed for healthy thyroid activity

-Vitamin A is an important nutrient for supporting healthy serum T3 (active) levels

If blood testing for thyroid function reveals less than optimal hormone levels, consult your physician for further evaluation.
