Note About Dehydration

What dehydration means

Dehydration happens when your body loses more fluid than it takes in. This can affect energy, urination, body temperature, and general health.

Common causes of dehydration

Common causes include not drinking enough water, sweating too much, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, hot weather, and heavy physical activity.

How to prevent dehydration

Drink water regularly, especially in hot weather. Eat water-rich foods, replace fluids after sweating, and seek help early when vomiting or diarrhea continues.
