Do this simple trick to find out if you're well-hydrated or not.
Dehydration is one of the common conditions during summer as people sweat more due to the hot weather.
If the amount of fluid you lose is higher than the water you consume, then you are at risk to suffer from dehydration.
So, now more than ever, we all need to be vigilant and religiously monitor our fluid intake to prevent dehydration.
Fortunately, there's also a no-sweat way to tell whether you are dehydrated or not.
It only takes three seconds and all you need is your own skin.

In an episode of Mars Pa More, hosts Iya Villania and Camille Prats, along with celebrity guests Yasser Marta and Jay Arcilla, each shared an amazing trivia or tip during the 'Trivia Pa More' segment.
Iya demonstrated how you can easily tell if you're well-hydrated or not.
The Mars Pa More host said all you need to do is pinch the skin at the back of your hand and release it.
Iya said, “I-pinch mo lang tapos if you let go at bumalik siya kaagad, then well-hydrated ka.”
If your skin takes longer to return to its original state or seems to move in slow motion, then that's a sign that you are dehydrated.
As of Yasser and Jay, they shared fun facts about black, decayed tooth being a status symbol in old times and Camiguin having the most number of volcanoes per square meter in the world.
Camille, on the other hand, revealed that brass is often used as material for doorknobs because they have self-disinfecting capacities.
