Jan 23, – Dr Isaac Abeka, a Medical Doctor at Tamale Teaching Hospital has urged Ghanaians to drink a lot of water during this dry season.

According to him Ghanaians are likely to face the danger of a possible exposure to dehydration for failure to drink enough water.

He explains that dehydration means the loss of water from our body.

He indicated that the water is very important because it helps cool down the body and also maintain the bodily functions.

He further explained that severe cases of dehydration can even lead to death.

“When your body is dehydrated, you will feel tired, your skin may become dry or you might feel dizzy and get cramps, but those are only the lighter symptoms of dehydration”. Dr Abeka stated.

“When it gets worse, one may even start behaving irrationally or get heat strokes”, he stressed.

Dr. Isaac Abeka therefore appealed to all Ghanaians to consume plenty of water to prevent them from these symptoms.

He equally advises Ghanaians to also frequently check the volume and colour of their urine to find out if they are dehydrated.

“If your urine is dark yellow or you have less urine than usual, start drinking more water”, he posited.
