[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 6712328, member: 2119"] You can be dehydrated without really knowing it. I think stress and depression suppresses thirst which leads to more dehydration and more depression. It's a big problem with the elderly. The district nurse said pinch the skin on the back of your hand and if it springs back instantly you are properly hydrated. Any delay in springing back indicates dehydration, even if you don't feel thirsty. I drink too much stuff like tea coffee and alcohol which dehydrates me. It's a conscious decision and effort to drink a pint of water, but my brain works better for it. On way in to Nottingham hospital they have a big sign up saying if folks drank more water a lot of illnesses would be prevented. A simple measure easily neglected. [/QUOTE]
