Poor Hydration Habits
If you don’t take the time to hydrate, it will eventually take its toll on your body. Not drinking enough water is a terrible habit, and it can lead to long-term issues if you are not careful. One reason why so many people suffer from dehydration—despite constant access to drinking water—is the fact that the body can often function with the bare minimum amount of water drunk daily. It results in a bad habit that can lead to significant issues if you keep it up for weeks (even months). Macular degeneration can and will occur if people don’t take hydration seriously.
It’s similar to a poor diet, where a lack of nutrition can result in subpar bodily processes. When the body doesn’t have water in its system, the results aren’t immediately noticeable. However, if such a habit goes on for too long, it can result in issues such as macular degeneration. When paired with risk factors such as age and genetics, it’s easy to see how poor hydration can lead to various disorders. Fortunately, the solution is to drink more water, which is something that can be extremely trivial to accomplish for most people.
