DANGERS OF DEHYDRATION.

Hi- drate ! It’s important. Usually, your body balances the amount of water you consume with the amount of water eliminated.

Certain circumstances such as prolonged physical activity, high air temperatures, high fever, diarrhea, trauma and burns increase the amount of water lost. If you don’t replace that water, you become dehydrated.  

You can become dehydrated by not consuming enough fluid from foods and beverages. These are conditions that also can make dehydration more likely:

• Sweating during exercise that is not compensated by drinking extra fluids; exercise even in cold weather can cause sweating
• Hot, humid weather
• High altitude, which causes rapid breathing and increased urine output
• Illnesses such as poorly controlled diabetes, and illnesses that cause vomiting, diarrhea, or fever
• Pregnancy
• Certain medications

Alcoholic drinks also can make you urinate more frequently, but, like caffeine, this increase is short-term and usually does not cause dehydration if you drink in moderation.

 

Symptoms of dehydration

• A dry or sticky mouth, caused by too little saliva
• Less urine than normal, or no urine for eight hours. Urine that is darker than usual may indicate dehydration; diet, medications, and vitamin supplements can also affect urine color.
• Few or no tears
• Sunken eyes
• Dry, cool skin
• Fast heart rate
• In infants, a sunken fontanel, the soft spot on the top of the head, may mean dehydration.
• Lethargy, irritability or fatigue
• Listlessness or coma; this is a sign of severe dehydration.
