Why do Humans get dehydrated so quickly?

664 viewsBiologyOther

Been seeing that you should keep drinking until your pee is clear, but its quite astounding how quickly the pee turns dark. Like just 4h of no water or eating a meal will turn it dark. If water is needed so often how do people of the past (who probably don’t have that frequent access to water) even live?

A few things.

First off, there’s a substantial gap between “less than ideally hydrated” and “dangerously dehydrated.”

Secondly, people had a lot of access to water in the past. Water sources are necessary to grow crops and to raise animals, many of which require a lot more water per day than any person.

As for how people in history survived, well, a lot of them didn’t.
