DEHYDRATION AND ITS DANGEROUS EFFECTS

  Dehydration occurs when the body loses more water than it gets. About 75 present of the human body is made up of water. The body gets hydrated through how much we drink. The body normally loses water through the air we breathe as vapor, our sweat and our stool. The body can undergo drastic loss of water through
vomiting, diarrhea, heat stroke , burn and excessive urination (like in diabetes). Severe dehydration can lead to death.
  Some signs of dehydration may include, increased thirst, decreased urine output or concentrated urine, dry mouth, decreased sweating, decreased tears production and muscle cramping.
  Dehydration can cause kidney failure, decreased blood volume, coma, shock, seizures and muscle cramping from electrolyte imbalance and death if left untreated. Dehydration can cause coma
due to decreased blood supply to the brain ,as a result of low blood volume.
   Dehydration is worse in kids and elderly, due to a more fragile body system. Do not be too lazy to drink. Drink, drink and drink.
