Thirsty? you are already dehydrated

Thirsty? you are already dehydrated

We all feel thirsty. Why does this happen? It is a signal from the body telling you that your body fluid is not well-balanced. Desire to drink is generated from your brain in order to prevent problems induced by body fluid imbalance.

Two mechanisms that make you thirsty.

You become thirsty: 

1.When you lose body fluid.
2.When there is an increase in your body fluid thickness.

Thirst is one of the first warning signals you may be getting dehydrated, but you should not rely on thirst alone. Other early signs are: fatigue, flushed skin, faster breathing and pulse rate, and decreased exercise capacity. Later signs include weakness, dizziness, and labored breathing. 

Experts say that thirst occurs when at least 2% of your body weight is lost as sweat. Hydrating before and during strenuous activity is important. 

If you think you're becoming dehydrated, you should move to a cool place and rehydrate. Drink fluids slowly, rather than quickly -- drinking too fast can stimulate urination, resulting in less hydration. 

60% of human body is water

 60% of human body is water

 Around 60% of the human body is made up of liquid.
The liquid that we have in the body is called body fluid.
The body of a normal 70kg adult holds about 42 litres of body fluid.
So you may even say that human beings are made of fluid.

Even on a quiet day, people lose about 2.5 litres of body fluid each day, while on an active day people can lose much more. It is important to replace the lost fluids to keep a balance between fluid intake and fluid loss.

 

Humans cannot survive without body fluid. If the body loses just 3% (about 900ml in case of 60kg adult) of its fluid, dehydration symptoms such as fatigue will occur. With a 4-5% fluid loss, humans experience headache and dizziness. It can be fatal if more than 10% of body fluid is lost.

So go ahead replenish your body with adequate water.
