Sugar cravings
Dehydration might interfere with our body’s ability to reach into its glucose stores for energy, and it could also trigger cravings for foods that are very high in sugar and carbs. It’s worth noting that unusual and immediate cravings for sugary foods such as chocolate, donuts, cookies, and especially candies could indicate that your body craves water.
I know the temptation is much harder to resist, especially when it comes to something sweet, but your need for water won’t fade away just because of some candies. If you have sugar cravings and hunger pangs, even if you’ve recently eaten, you could try drinking more water to fully rehydrate your body and keep your cravings at bay. If you stop drinking water, your chances of craving more are higher, which could ultimately lead to weight gain.

Dehydration can lower blood pressure, which is why some blood pressure meds are diuretics.
