Water is your body’s principal chemical component, making up the majority of your body weight. Every system in your body depends on water, as it flushes toxins out of vital organs.
Your body loses water throughout the day, and this water must be replenished in order to keep it functioning efficiently. Caffeine acts as a diuretic (draining the body of fluids). When you drink caffeinated beverages, you actually lose more fluid than you are gaining. For every caffeinated beverage you drink, you need to add an EXTRA glass of water to the amount you would already need to drink!
Dehydration occurs when you don’t have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy, decrease your metabolic rate, and make you tired.
