OVERVIEW

What is dehydration?

You're thirsty, and it's a hot summer day. Don't forget to grab a tall glass of water. You're starting to experience the effects of dehydration already.

When you experience dehydration, your body loses so much fluid that it becomes unable to operate normally. When you lose more fluids than you take in, it happens. On a hot day, if you sweat a lot or if you're unwell with a fever, diarrhea, or vomiting, you could become dehydrated. It can also happen if you don't drink enough water or if you're using a drug that makes you produce more urine. Thirst is your body's natural response when you're dehydrated. When you feel thirsty, you should incontinently belt on some liquids,  rather than water. By consuming fresh liquids, minor dehumidification is generally treatable. Dehumidification,  however, is not frequently egregious. It can be seen in the senior parent who neglects to drink water or the fussy child who's unfit to communicate their thirst. Keep your family members well-doused. You might need to visit the sanitarium to receive IV fluids if you or a loved one develops a moderate to severe case of dehumidification. Severe dehumidification can be murderous if neglected.

What effects does water have on the body?

Your body contains up to 78% water. 73% of your heart and 73% of your brain are composed of water. Your skin contains 64% water, your muscles and kidneys are 79% water, and your bones are 31% water. Your lungs contain an astounding 83% water.

Water is beneficial:

• Improve digestion and eliminate waste.
• Your joints function. They are lubricated by water.
• Create saliva (which you must consume).
• your body's chemical balance. It's essential for your brain to produce hormones and neurotransmitters.
