9. “Pinch” the skin on the back of the hand for 3 seconds and poof!
It takes only 3 seconds to check for “water deficiency” in the body. Pinch the skin on the back of your hand with your thumb and forefinger a little harder, hold it for 3 seconds, and then quickly release it. If there is enough moisture in the body, the skin will return to normal in an instant. However, if the skin does not return immediately and remains raised like a tent, it may be a sign of hidden moisture deficiency. Even if you are not aware of it, your blood may be on the verge of becoming sludgy, and your body may be under strain. If you feel that it is slow to return, drink water immediately.
