What happens to the body if one drinks only 500 ml of water a day?
Consuming just 500 ml of water daily can lead to mild to moderate dehydration, nutritionist Ipsita Chakraborty said. "Body responds by reducing urine output and drawing water from cells, leading to symptoms like dry mouth, fatigue, dizziness and constipation," she said. Chronic dehydration can impair kidney function, increasing risk of urinary tract infections, kidney stones and renal decline.
