Meteorologist Don Schwenneker reminds us that as we head into the hottest weekend of the summer, drink water, lots of it, and take a look before you flush.
Tips from Don:
When you go #1, the color of it can really help you gauge if you’ve got enough water in your body.
Clear to very light yellow, it’s all mellow. You’ve got enough water in your body, but on hot days, keep drinking H20 to keep it mellow.
Yellow, cloudier urine or even orange to brown, and you need to up your water intake. Yellow to dark, dehydration’s made its mark.
There are other indicators of dehydration too:
-Dry mouth
-Light headedness
-Cramping
-Irritability
-Less trips to the bathroom
Plus, urine color can sometimes be determined by other health factors. Again check with your doctor.
