What is dehydration?

 

Dehydration refers to total body water loss or depletion. A dry tongue or throat or thirst after drinking several glasses of water could mean you are dehydrated. Dehydration is common but awareness about it is low.

Factors of dehydration

Water is not excreted only through urine. The body also loses water through breathing, sweating and also defecation. When the body loses water, it should be balanced by drinking water immediately. Let’s look at the causes of dehydration…

 

Sweat

 

The main form of dehydration in summer is sweating. Due to the humidity in the air, the body expels water through the skin in the form of sweat to cope with the effects of external heat. This causes the body to lose water.

 

Frequent urination / diarrhoea

 

Colon absorbs water from food during digestion. But diarrhea prevents this. If you have diabetes or kidney disease you may need to urinate more often. Excessive loss of water from the body leads to dehydration.

 

vomiting

 

Vomiting is one of the main factors. As the body becomes dehydrated, it becomes impossible to drink water to balance this.

 

fever

 

As the body heats up, it tries to cool it down through the surface of the skin in the form of sweat. Even if you don’t drink enough water to balance it out when you sweat profusely, the body will become dehydrated.
