THE HARMFUL EFFECTS RESULTING FROM DEHYDRATION
The human body is anywhere from 55% to 78% water depending on body size. A rule of thumb, 2/3 of body is consists of water, and it is the main component of human body. Did you know that your tissues and organs are mainly made up of water? Here is the percentage:
- Muscle consists of 75% water
- Brain consists of 90% of water
- Bone consists of 22% of water
- Blood consists of 83% water
- Tiredness
- Migraine
- Constipation
- Muscle cramps
- Irregular blood pressure
- Kidney problems
- Dry skin 20% dehydrated – Risk of death
Here are some of the symptoms that you need more water:
- Dark Urine – Dark Yellow or Orange in Color: Urine is generally pale yellow to clear when you have sufficient water intake. Dark color or strong smell indicates that you need to drink more water.
- Dry Skin: Skin is the largest body organ and requires its share of water.
- Thirst: Thirst is the most obvious sign that you're already dehydrated. It is always a good practice to drink more water when you are not thirsty, don’t wait until you're thirsty!!!
- Hunger: Most people mistake hunger for the indication to eat more, whereas in actual fact, they may be dehydrated. So before you have your meal, grab a glass of water.
- Fatigue: Water is a source of energy and gives you a boost in energy.

WOMEN'S SELF DEFENSE
Saturday, May 5th
This is our moderate impact self defense program for women. Basic self defense tools will be put to the test during several scenarios. Nobody can tell you how to defend yourself in every situation. Each person must evaluate his or her own abilities, and size up the situation based on the level of danger to themselves or a loved one. You can safely learn to discover and use your natural weapons to unleash new abilities that provide more effective options if assaulted. Discover quickly how simple it is to be empowered mentally and physically with new confidence that lasts a lifetime.
Call 665-3800 for more details.
