Why are obese people chronically dehydrated?
Can you tell me why obese people are chronically dehydrated?
Yes, I can. Obese people have a higher percentage of body fat, which requires more water to keep hydrated. However, they also tend to have lower levels of a hormone called vasopressin which helps regulate body water balance and preserve hydration. This combination can lead to chronic dehydration in obese individuals.
