Persistent bad breath
Water is highly important for saliva production, as it helps rinse away bacteria and maintain the health of our teeth and gums. In fact, the lack of water inhibits saliva production, causing bacteria to build up on the tongue, teeth, and gums, and that’s how we get bad breath.
If you practice proper oral hygiene but continue to suffer from chronic bad breath, it’s highly possible you’re not drinking enough water. We’d strongly advise you to make an appointment with your doctor and check if your bad breath remains after increasing your water intake. Otherwise, you’ll have to consider other possible causes, such as gum disease, type 2 diabetes, and liver and kidney issues.

Dehydration can lower blood pressure, which is why some blood pressure meds are diuretics.
Very good article. I have kidney problems and need a lot of water every day.
Very helpful & easy to read & remember (I am 82 1/2+ years old) THANKS!!!!!!!!
For sure I love to drink WATER + LEMON JUICE (NOT WITH SUGAR) & usually take a glass AFTER dinner. Also I drink a large COFFEE-CUP (+ evaporated milk & NO SUGAR) with my breakfast.
During the day, I prefer orange juice or other type of fruit juice, & now, due to colder temperatures, l love to drink @ night, before bed, a large cup of Chamomile Tea (NO SUGAR)
which I enjoy very much, & I know it is much better than just plain leaf-tea, which contains caffein.
Great information!!! Thank you so very much! Samuella clarett

Plants, I can barely chew my food! I really need help pleas

“…headaches are caused by intense sweating, which leads to excessive sweating.”
Guess you nailed the reason, there.
I never drink water, I am 77 years old, I never liked the taste, since childhood. I was told by a doctor, 20 years ago, as long as my body gets enough fluids, I should be fine. I am from Philadelphia Pa.

My worse health “neglect” is not drinking enough WATER. My most complaints are associated to “NOT DRINKING ENOUGH WATER”. Any suggestions?
I do not drink enough water. What amount should we drink.? Is there anyway that we can sweeten it? I was given Pedialite but was told not to drink too much of it because of the sugar content! What can we do to make it more palatable? I was in the hospital for 10 days and given water intravenously because I could never drink more than 3 16 oz. Bottles per day abd even that was hard. What can I do to get myself to drink the required amount?
Absolutely. Lower blood pressure can/will cause an increase in heart rate as a way to get the BP back up….
It’s probably not a coincidence that I came across this article. “Someone” is trying to get the point into my hard head that I’d better make some healthier choices……and fast! (I have a few of these issues listed, due to not drinking required amounts of water I’m sure.) Thank you for the nudge.
This can be true. I know this first hand. Pun on fact
I know this first hand. Too much sugar lead to yeast infection.Also
I enjoyed the information and I know water is essential but I prefer Diet Coke which is not good. I have now started drinking more water and feel a lot healthier,
Drinking water everyday like you have to eat, it’s a great benefit for your body. Thank you for your info!
