Drinking water is also necessary to keep the body hydrated, but if you are drinking too much water then it can cause many problems. Drinking too much water causes headache and fatigue.

Health experts say that in summer the body needs more water than in other seasons. Dehydration can occur due to strong sunlight and heat, so drinking water is beneficial but drinking too much water can lead to deficiency of some things in the body.
What to do if you feel excessively thirsty
According to health experts, thirst depends on the fluid level present in the body. When the water level decreases, the body immediately activates the thirst-sensing mechanism. In hot and humid weather, a lot of water is released from the body, which causes thirst.
Apart from this, in many diseases like diarrhea, diabetes, there is a lack of water in the body and one feels thirsty again and again. Due to the lack of some things, the throat becomes dry again and again. Instead of ignoring it, one should go to the doctor.
Lack of these things is the reason for frequent thirst
1. Excessive thirst in summer can be caused by dry mouth. Drinking more water than required can also be caused by many problems. One reason for this can be lack of saliva in the mouth. Due to this, the mouth starts drying. Dry mouth is called xerostomia in medical language. When the saliva gland in the mouth produces less saliva, then such a problem occurs. According to the doctor, saliva helps in digesting food properly in the body. Without it, it is difficult to digest food.
2. There is excessive thirst due to lack of blood in the body. This is called anemia in medical language. It means lack of iron in the body, because it also causes blood deficiency. When the red blood cells in the body start decreasing to make hemoglobin, then the problem of dehydration occurs. If you are feeling thirsty repeatedly for a long time, then you should get your blood tested. Iron-rich things should be included in the diet, because iron helps in increasing hemoglobin.
