It can cause cramps
The lack of water in the body causes a reduction in blood circulation, which in turn can cause cramps. The body protects its vital organs, so when it suffers from a lack of water, it pulls water out of the muscles - and anything that is not vital - to protect these organs. Cramps can be very painful. Changes in sodium and potassium levels in the body due to sweat loss can also cause cramps.

It can cause problems in the digestive system
The lack of water and alkaline metals, such as calcium and magnesium, can lead to a series of disorders of the digestive tract, such as ulcers, gastritis and reflux of gastric juices.

It causes constipation
To work properly, your digestive system needs water. When you suffer from dehydration, your body restricts water to your digestive system, resulting in the best performance. On the other hand, if your body is adequately hydrated, most water consumption is not sure to cure your constipation caused by drugs, illnesses or lack of fiber from your diet.

It causes asthma and allergies
When you suffer from dehydration, your body to save water narrows the airways. In fact, the amount of histamine produced by the body increases exponentially as the body loses more and more water.

Raises cholesterol
When the body is dehydrated, it produces more cholesterol to limit the loss of water from the cells.

It causes kidney and bladder problems
In a dehydrated body, the accumulation of toxins and acidic waste creates a bacterial growth environment, resulting in the bladder and kidneys being more prone to infections, inflammation and pain.

It elevates blood pressure
When the body is properly hydrated, blood is made up of 92% of water. When the body suffers from dehydration, the blood becomes thicker, making circulation more difficult and the blood pressure rising.

It causes pain and stiffness in the joints
The bones in the joints are specially coated with cartilage, consisting mainly of water. When the body is dehydrated, the cartilage is weakened and the repair slows down, causing you to feel pain and discomfort.

It makes you put on weight
When you suffer from dehydration, your body can not effectively eliminate toxins, so it stores them in the adipocytes. In addition, the body does not eliminate fat unless it is adequately hydrated to remove toxins safely.

Causes premature aging
When the body suffers from chronic dehydration, the organs of the body - including the largest organ that is skin - begin to slim down and shrink prematurely.
