Drinking less water has bad effects on the body. Complications such as allergic reactions. Allergic reactions caused by dehydration are due to the fact that due to dehydration, some white blood cells cause changes in the amino acid histidine, causing new problems in the body.
Research has shown that dehydration has a significant effect on all systems of the human body, including the respiratory system. Drinking water helps to dilute and thin the mucus that covers the airways and lungs.
Dehydration can cause the mucous membranes of the airways to thicken and become sticky, generally slowing down the breathing process and making you more susceptible to disease, allergies and other respiratory problems.
Dehydration makes it difficult to clear the mucus
When you do not drink enough water, excess mucus forms and causes a series of side effects in the body. The mucus that forms on the back of the throat can trigger a cough, which is the body’s attempt to get rid of excess mucus. Mucus formation is not dangerous, but it is irritating. This condition can make you feel gagged or make it harder to breathe. Excessive mucus production in the lungs occurs when these organs become inflamed. The resulting mucus can become thick and sticky, which immediately leads to the production of disease in the body and weakening of the respiratory system.
Dehydration can lead to chronic bronchitis
Bronchitis is caused by inflammation of the lining of the lungs. Bronchitis clogs the airways and causes a cough. People with bronchitis lose a lot of water. People with chronic bronchitis often also experience dehydration. A bronchitis diet should include plenty of fluids and moisturizing foods. These fluids also help the body eliminate toxins.
Chronic dehydration can lead to respiratory problems
Dehydration causes some white blood cells to convert the amino acid histidine into histamine, which triggers allergic reactions. When enough water reaches the body, these blood cells reduce their production of histamine and the respiratory symptoms disappear. Water is used to keep the nasal passages, bronchial tubes, and lungs moist. But when you exhale, moisture comes out of these tissues and dry air enters with each breath. If the body has enough water, the lost moisture will be quickly replaced.
Dehydration can make asthma worse
Asthma is a respiratory disease that develops with spasm in the bronchi of the lungs and causes difficulty in breathing. Asthma is usually the result of an allergic reaction or other form of hypersensitivity. When asthma occurs, a person’s airways become inflamed, narrow, and swollen, making it difficult to produce extra mucus to breathe. Hydration keeps the mucous membranes thin and thin and prevents airway obstruction.
Dehydration can trigger allergies
Allergies are caused by a histamine reaction in the body. If you are allergic to pollen, the body recognizes pollen as a risk factor and triggers the immune system to secrete histamine to fight the stimulants.
Histamines also have other functions, including regulating the body’s water supply. A 1995 study by Dutch scientists confirmed that dehydration stimulates the production of histamine as a defense mechanism to retain water remaining in the body as well as prevent it from being lost as much as possible. When we are dehydrated, the production of histamine increases and can cause symptoms of seasonal allergies such as runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes.
