Due to work stress or busy lifestyle, we often forget to drink water, which can cause dehydration. Its symptoms include excessive thirst, redness of the eyes and dark yellow urine. Drinking water is the best solution when there is dehydration (Dehydration Causes). However, many times in a hurry we eat or drink some such things (Foods That Making You Dehydrated) which can harm our body. Let us know which things should be avoided during dehydration.

 

1) Coffee and tea

Coffee and tea contain caffeine which is a diuretic. This means that it helps remove water from the body. Therefore, drinking too much coffee and tea can lead to dehydration.

 

2) Carbonated drinks

Soda and other carbonated drinks contain phosphoric acid, which can reduce the body's absorption of calcium and magnesium. Both of these nutrients help the body stay hydrated.

 

3) Pickles

Pickles contain a lot of salt. Please note that consuming too much salt increases the amount of water in the body, which makes you feel more thirsty and the body becomes dehydrated.

 

4) Dry fruits

Dry fruits have a high fiber content which is good for digestion, but eating too many dry fruits can also cause dehydration as water is needed to digest fiber.

The body needs more water to digest spicy food. Therefore, eating too much spicy food can also cause dehydration.
