<p>I used to heavily underestimate the importance of drinking water to stay well hydrated, especially when I moved to Thailand.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The high temperatures here, combined with humidity usually in the range of 70% or higher, made me dehydrate very quickly. Because the air is already saturated with water, sweat doesn't evaporate to successfully cool you down, and thus you perspire continuously.</p>
<p>Now it wasn't that I that I didn't drink any fluids, but rather that I wasn't drinking enough <strong>water</strong>. Because of the low cost of carbonated drinks, coffee, and flavoured teas I didn't see the need to drink water as I was already taking in fluids. How very wrong I was! After about 2 weeks or so I started observing some symptoms. I felt <strong>sleepy </strong>and had a general <strong>lack of energy</strong>, I noticed <strong>irregularities in breathing</strong>, I would get <strong>dizzy</strong>, and had <strong>urine of dark colour</strong>.</p>
<p>I took the time to look up the symptoms, and it struck me immediately! I couldn't believe how blind I was, when I should have known better. Needless to say, I stopped my bad habits and I now drink at least <strong>two litres of water per day</strong>. All of my previous symptoms were gone by the second day of staying properly hydrated with good old-fashioned water.</p>
<p>I hope this helps answer your question. Stay healthy and hydrated!!&nbsp;</p>
