Why do Humans get dehydrated so quickly?

662 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?

The color of your pee is an indicator. You are not dehydrating to any unhealthy level after 4h of not drinking.

Humans can survive 2 days without water, thats not healthy anymore, but mlre than 10 times as long as you expected. Is that still too much? Compared to many other animals thats a normal time.
