Dehydration has been defined by many as the dangerous loss of water from the body.
Your body is easily dehydrated because it contains 60% of water.
Fluids are lost when we experience heat, engage in physical activity such as running or evening walking.
People who suffer from vomiting, flu, and diarrhea even lose more fluids.
Symptoms of Dehydration
Usually, the first symptom felt in dehydration is thirst. However, if the lost fluids are not replaced, the body will begin to compensate.
The client may experience increased heart rate, decreased blood pressure, or decreased urinary output.
