You must be aware of how much water is needed in the body and what can happen if you are dehydrated. Actually, the real strength of the body depends on proper hydration along with all the vitamins-minerals and if you do not pay attention to it then it may also happen that you may have many problems like skin problems, heatstroke, Kidney or liver not functioning properly, the problem of water retention, etc.
In such a situation, there is a problem with many people that they are not aware of when they are getting dehydrated and how they can improve it. First of all, we need to know how to do our dehydration test by ourselves. For this, celeb nutritionist Pooja Makhija has told on her Instagram account how we can do our own dehydration test through the skin itself. Our skin can tell us whether the body needs water or not.
