Annotated Bibliography for Dehydration and Increasing Water Intake

Lawrence E. Armstrong, & Evan C. Johnson. (2018). Water intake, water balance, and the elusive daily water requirement. Nutrients, 10(12), 1928. https://doi-org.ezproxy.mtsu.edu/10.3390/nu10121928

In the human body, water is an essential component for the various uses it is put to. It is needed for cellular homeostasis, circulatory work, temperature regulation, metabolism, and substrate transport functions. Research is done on the routine water requirements in children, women, and men across different age groups. In this article, the average water necessity is calculated via the empirical methodology. It considers the plasma arginine vasopressin or AVP concentration used by the human brain for water regulation. The results are alarming as they reveal that 19-71% of the adults in the world have less water intake than is required and this may be a cause for chronic ailments and dysfunctional metabolism. Representative research evidence is also taken into account here and the answer to why human requirements are elusive is ascertained. Evidence for the role of 24-hour TWI in reducing disease risk is mentioned. Efforts are made to define the state of euhydration. However, a definitive answer still evades humanity. The complexity of the water regulatory network in humans is far too difficult a process to be simplistically calculated. However, the chronic reduction of plasma AVP by the intake of a certain dosage of water that keeps the count to less than 2.0 pg/ml is prescribed (Armstrong and Johnson, 2018). This article is relevant in this context since it gives a clear-cut plan on the requirement of water in the human body using scientific means that seem significant. Therefore, it is useful information for the tracking behavior of not drinking enough water and increasing water intake. The factual content of the article seems accurate and reliable, and the author agrees with the viewpoint given in this research material. There was not any bias found in the article.

Certain research projects have been undertaken regarding the link between mortality and water intake. However, the collective findings are inconsistent. One study aims to ascertain this link using the statistics from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey or NHANES and the files put forth by the National Center for Health Statistics in 2015. This project made use of the data from more than 35,000 adults of the age group of more than 20 years (from 1999-2014). The model employed for the calculations was multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazards (Using the Cox Regression Model). It took cognizance of the total intake of water accounting for the water in food articles, beverages, and plain water. This was used to tabulate a correlation with heart ailments, cancer, neoplasms, and other risk factors. In a span of 88m months, 4915 deaths occurred. The water intake had negative connotations in these figures. Water, as is known, accounts for more than 60% of the human body weight in normal circumstances. In all participating folk, the higher intake of water was found closely connected with lower mortality risk after trying to control other parameters. However, the researchers did conclude that further studies are required to fully ascertain this statement (Zhou et al, 2022). This research article does justice to the ethos of water requirement in the human body, the state of dehydration, and the amount needed for a good working dynamic. The statistics given in this piece of work are from a credible source and need no verification. Hence, this study can be relied upon as a creditable project. Presented simply and with no complicated jargon, it presents a helpful article that can be read and understood properly even by a layperson. It is also a helpful article in helping understand how water intake correlates with mortality, which proves useful for the tracking behavior. The author agrees with the perspective given here and signals it as valid and to the point with no bias present.

It is a fact that increased hydration is always recommended as a healthy habit that provides several merits to the human body’s functioning. This study presents the efficacy of a heightened intake of daily water by testing the impact of water supplements on biomarkers in human saliva, blood, and urine. The subjects of this research work were 31 healthy Japanese ladies and 24 Japanese men. The duration of the study was twelve weeks. The drinking water intake was increased in all of them by a given amount. Water fructifies human life. Without it, life is impossible. In addition, a placebo-controlled, parallel-group, randomized project was undertaken. Regular interviews with the participants were conducted at weeks 0, 4, 8, and 12 to find out how they felt. As found, the primary impact of water supplements on the human body was a reduction in blood pressure and an increase in the temperature. In addition, the excess sodium was removed, changes occurred in the secretion of hormones, and a reduction in peripheral vascular resistance because of the excretion of waste matter was reported. This study, again due to its practical content in which actual participants undertook the relevant tests, is credible and seemingly accurate. No bias was present, and the author supports the results and agrees with them due to the factual nature of the content.

As we know, dehydration occurs due to a reduction in the water content in the human body either due to heightened loss of fluids or because of reduced water intake. The symptoms resulting from dehydration include a feeling of thirst, lethargy, headache, dullness, and dry mouth conditions. In this article, a cross-sectional study using a self-reported questionnaire was used. The participants were shoppers at a local mall. 393 participants were given the questionnaire. The variables they answered include past medical history records, demography, the daily routine water intake, the information they had on dehydration, et al. The three foremost symptoms of dehydration they mentioned were thirst, dry tongue, and dry lips. The causes of dehydration included vomiting, sweating, and diarrhea. The other symptoms that were less reported included weakness in the muscles, rapid breathing tendencies, dizziness, and cramps in the muscular areas. At the endpoint, it was obvious that a maximum number of people are aware of dehydration, its causes, and its results, and are aware of the adequate water intake requirements of the human body (Shaheen et al, 2018). This article is based on actual collation of information and its analysis. Hence, it has accuracy. It is presented correctly and factually, with no bias which is why it has a good accountability value. Thus, the author tends to agree with the material concluded in this work. It will be useful for the tracking behavior of drinking more water by knowing about the effects of dehydration.
