NEVER WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE THIRSTY BEFORE YOU DRINK WATER!

When your body loses more water than it needs to keep, it develops a mild crisis that we call thirst. The several causes of this emergency include the following:
1. Not having ample daily intakes of water.
2. The adverse effects of dehydrating items - Regardless of whatever your palate or taste buds may consider fit for you to take, your body is the final judge of what it desires. The body normally considers various pharmaceutical products, highly spiced foods, slow poisons such as tea (Thea senensis), coffee, sugar, synthetic sugars, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages (i.e., sodas or soft drinks), dishes biased towards meat products and several other modern foods as irritants or toxic. That is the reason why the amount of urine that results from taking any of these items would usually be higher than the volume consumed of them. Similar reactions happen when you develop diarrhea of any type resulting from whatever irritating material you may have sent into your stomach.
Under all these diuretic or diarrhea conditions, your body would be sacrificing much needed water from various internal organs, so as to flush out these substances that it finds to be dangerous. Indeed, if you use slow poisons in responding to thirst, you force the body into sustaining a permanent condition of dehydration, through repeated rounds of urine output higher than the volume taken of these harmful substances, followed by thirst and further intakes of these irritants.
3. Perspiration. The body perspires all the time. We often feel this when the surrounding conditions are hot and humid or while we are engaged in some physical activity. When surrounding conditions are colder or when we are under air-conditioning, we still perspire although we may not normally feel that this is happening.
4. Illness - We loose substantial amounts of body fluids through diarrhea of whatever cause, vomiting spells and profuse loss of blood.

What Happens If You Don't Drink enough Water?
Most of us do not wait until we are hungry before we eat. Yet, we take some bodily reactions such as thirst as normal, acceptable or even simply for granted. When you feel thirsty, this reflects the total result and complaint of a crisis by most of the cells in your body. They have got dangerously closer to a level of dryness or dehydration that could cause you to die. Therefore, whether you like it or not, thirst forces you to take in some liquid, preferably water. As stated above, you develop a habit of repeating this crisis by taking various substances that we have referred to as slow poisons. Let us assume that while you are in a hot desert or some other similar dry environment you suddenly got very thirsty and have no water to drink. You would speedily get dizzy, probably become hysterical and eventually collapse and die within a couple of hours, if not sooner. Deserts all over the world have human and various animal remains that resulted from this type of thirst crisis. Fortunately, these dire results do not normally happen to most of us in this dramatic fashion. However, if you normally do not have ample daily amounts of water, your body condition would be described as one of mild chronic dehydration (MCD). The bodies of most people are already adjusted to this type of avoidable stress.
However, MCD is the cause of many "diseases" that are not diseases in  the true sense that they are caused by bacteria, viruses, amoebae or some pathogens that can be attacked with any of various "cures". To use one result of dehydration for illustration, the blood becomes thicker and sticker than it should. Scientists and other experts describe this blood as being viscous. The heart then has to work much harder to pump this sticky blood.
If this dehydration continues over several years as happens to most people, the size of the heart gradually increases with age. An enlarged heart is relatively inefficient and easily gets tired. This can readily be demonstrated by using two persons who are as identical as  possible and could even be identical twins. If they are asked to climb some stairs or run a distance, the one who usually waits to be thirsty before he drinks water will soon get exhausted and stop, while his colleague who has ample daily intakes of water would still be active. Interestingly, the same results would occur in relation to other demands on their respective bodies.
Nonetheless, an enlarged heart can someday simply go on strike and such a person dies from heart seizure. A mechanical pump that was made to pump water would have a similar problem of pumping mud. An important difference here is hat, if conditions get tougher for a mechanical pump, it can eventually either explode, have critical parts burnt out or simply get so damaged as to stop it from working. This is because the metal parts of a mechanical pump are not flexible and therefore cannot expand as happens to the muscles of the heart.
If your blood is thick or sticky, it will take much longer than desirable in relation to your health for the following:
1. For this type of blood to flow through your body. Indeed, all other conditions remaining the same, this is why in both physical and mental demands on the body, those with habits of waiting to respond to thirst tend to get tired faster, recover slower from exhaustion and handle stress less well, as compared with those who habitually have ample daily intakes of water.
2. For the blood to collect valuable nutrients from your intestines to distribute them for nourishing and repairing all the various parts of the body.
3. To have your blood being speedily recharged with oxygen from your lungs. Blood that has been recharged with oxygen is bright red in colour, as found in our arteries. All the cells of your body need constant supply of oxygen. For example, if the process is too slow, this along with low glucose levels in the blood are among important causes of physical and mental exhaustion. Any part of the body that is starved of oxygen begins to die. For example, strokes are outcomes of this happening to any part of the brain. Just as heart attacks are caused by lack of oxygen supply to heart muscles. These are problems that can be prevented and, therefore, should never happen to anybody.
4. For constant output of wastes and various poisons in your body to be filtered out through the actions of your liver, kidneys, the pores on your skin and through the mucus linings within your respiratory system and colon (i.e., large intestine).
Nonetheless, the conclusion to draw from this discussion on thirst comes from the old saying that "prevention is better than cure." This piece of advice to each of us will remain valid for all time.
