When someone does not drink a lot of liquids a day. what can it cause ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: Water is an essential nutrient for the human body. Without water, many bodily functions do not work properly. For example, your kidneys need fluids to flush out waste products. Insufficient fluids can cause kidney stones. You can become constipated, develop bad breath, become dehydrated, etc. Fluids are also found in certain foods like fruits. You should get at least 50 ounces a day
