Tag: Intracellular dehydration

Approximately 60% of the human body is water, a significant portion of which is held within our cells. Cellular dehydration, also known as intracellular dehydration, occurs when living cells experience a significant reduction in their internal water content, hindering vital functions. This can happen even when you feel you are drinking enough fluids, highlighting a critical imbalance that needs to be addressed for optimal health.

According to a 2023 study published in StatPearls, dehydration is a clinically significant condition often confused with other fluid imbalances. Though often used interchangeably in casual conversation, free water deficit is not the same as dehydration; rather, it represents a specific type of imbalance with a different physiological basis and treatment strategy.
