Abstract

Water is an often-forgotten and understudied nutrient although it composes 55%–80% of the human body and is involved in nearly all physiological processes. However, the literature has begun to shift from investigating hydration and athletic performance to how the process of fluid homeostasis is implicated in health and well-being. Hormonal and mechanical responses to underhydration may potentially be associated with several physiological systems including glucose regulation, kidney health, obesity, cardiovascular health, oxidative stress, cognition, and bladder cancer. Health outcomes related to these issues may occur when thirst is not even stimulated and therefore remains unnoticed by mildly underhydrated populations. Considering the potential health implications of maintaining fluid homeostasis, it is important to elucidate the mechanisms of these particular health-related outcomes.
