Not drinking enough water throughout our day can cause some negative effects to our mind and our body. Headaches often happen when we are dehydrated because of the change of blood volume in our body from not getting enough water. Not drinking enough water can also lead to constipation as it can dry out the stool which makes it more difficult to pass through.
