Water Softener Installation Service Seeks to Clear Misconceptions about Dehydration

CANNON FALLS, Minn. - Nov. 19, 2014 - PRLog -- Haferman Water Conditioning, a company that sells and installs water softeners in Castle Rock and the surrounding areas, wants to clear up some common myths about dehydration and what to do if you discover you are dehydrated.

For example, many people believe that feeling thirst is the first sign that a person is dehydrated. However, this is not the case. Thirst is merely your body’s way of reminding you to drink water. The signs of dehydration include headaches and feeling sluggish and drowsy. More severe and life-threatening symptoms include seizures, kidney failure and worse.

Another common misconception is that everyone should drink at least eight glasses of water every day. However, doctors seem to differ on how much water one needs to stay fully hydrated. Some recommend that men get 3 liters a day and that women get 2.2 liters a day. The bottom line is your water intake depends on several different factors including where you live, your overall health and how physically active you are.

Dehydration is a serious issue, but thankfully it can be prevented by drinking plenty of water and staying in tune with your body and the signals it is trying to send you.
