Prevention of dehydration.. Many fluids and water-containing foods are heavily involved in illness, exercise and hot weather

To protect yourself from dehydration, take plenty of fluids and foods that contain water, such as fruits and vegetables, as you can get plenty of fluids from sources other than water, such as other drinks and some food items. Athletes should not wait for the thirst for fluids to replace the fluids they lose during exercise.
There are some situations that may require more fluids than usual, including:
• Disease: When the first signs of the disease, start to eat plenty of water and solutions that compensate for fluids. Do not wait until the drought occurs.
• Exercise: It is generally better to start taking plenty of fluids the day before your exercise. In addition, two cups of water should be taken two hours before exercise, such as a marathon. It is also advised to take fluids during sports activity at regular intervals and continue drinking water and other fluids after the end of activity. Paul Saf's light color is a good sign of body moisture.
• Environment: The body needs to take more water in hot or humid weather to help reduce body temperature and compensate for what it lost by sweating. The body may also need to take more water in cold weather in case of sweating due to wear heavy clothes. Warm indoor air may dry the skin, which may require increased fluid intake. Elevations above 2500 m can also affect the amount of water the body needs. If you get dry during exercise in hot weather, try to be in the shade area, and lie down and take fluids to compensate for what you lost.

Complications of dehydration.. Heat injury. Brain swelling. Epileptic seizures. Shock. Kidney failure. Coma and death

Drought can lead to serious complications, including:
• Heat injury: The severity of this injury ranges from mild convulsions due to heat to the free thaw, which may turn into a heat stroke that may in some cases be life-threatening.
• Brain swelling: The body's cells may absorb a large amount of water during the process of fluid compensation, causing the cells to bulge and then burst, which can lead to serious consequences, especially if brain cells are affected.
Epileptic seizures: These seizures occur when the discharge of electric charge in the brain becomes irregular, resulting in involuntary contractions and sometimes loss of consciousness.
• Trauma: Trauma is one of the most serious complications of dehydration. It occurs when the blood volume decreases, leading to a decrease in blood pressure, followed by a decrease in the amount of oxygen that reaches the tissues. It should be noted that if this condition is not treated quickly, it can lead to death within minutes.
Kidney failure: This condition, which is life-threatening, occurs when the kidneys are unable to get rid of excess fluid and waste in the blood.
Coma and death: If the drought is not treated quickly and correctly, it may lead to death.

dehydration treatment.. Drinking liquids, compensating lost minerals, and introducing the patient to the hospital and treating it through intravenous solutions

It is usually possible to drink liquids to treat mild or moderate droughts by drinking small quantities of fluids slowly and frequently, as drinking fluids frequently and quickly can lead to vomiting. Lost minerals should be recovered, especially if vomiting or diarrhea continues for more than 24 hours. It should be noted that you should not drink sports drinks in this case, as they contain a lot of sugar, which may cause them to cause or increase diarrhea.
Severe droughts may require that the patient be hospitalized and treated with intravenous solutions.

dehydration in people living in highlands.. The body adapts to large elevations by increasing urination and increasing breathing speed

Living, working and exercising in high places (around 2,400 - 3,600 m) or very high (about 3600-5400 m) may cause a number of health problems that include dehydration. Drought usually occurs when the body tries to cope with high elevations by increasing urination and increasing breathing speed. However, the evaporation of water by exhalation increases as the person tries to breathe faster to maintain adequate levels of oxygen in his blood.

Factors that increase the likelihood of dehydration.. Children, infants, the elderly, chronic disease patients and athletes who practice endurance sports

Drought can occur at any age and for anyone, but the risk of infection is higher in children, infants, the elderly, chronic disease patients, athletes who exercise endurance sports, and people living in highlands. Drought is more dangerous in newborns, requiring close monitoring of newborns if they develop a disease that leads to fever, vomiting or diarrhea.

The causes of dehydration in infants and children .. High metabolic speed, lack of water retention and incomplete development of the immune system

The vulnerability of infants and children to drought is high for the following reasons:
• A larger part of their body is water.
• The high metabolic rate, which causes their bodies to consume more water.
• The child's total retention of water is not maintained by the child's college.
• Incomplete development of their immune system, which increases their chances of developing diseases causing vomiting and diarrhea.
• Lack of food and drink intake when they become ill.
• Adoption of children to care for them to provide them with food and drink.

Causes of dehydration in the Elderly.. Take diuretics, do not work well and not drink enough fluids

Older people are vulnerable to drought, for the following reasons:
- Not drinking enough fluids, because they do not feel thirsty like younger people.
- The kidneys do not work well.
- Their preference for not drinking liquids, because they can not control the bladder (incontinence).
- Taking diuretics.
- Physical problems or diseases that may lead to:
Difficulty in drinking or carrying cups.
- Pain when doing from the seat.
- Pain or stress when going to the bathroom.

The causes of dehydration in the Victims of chronic diseases.. Do not take diabetes treatment or control, alcoholism, kidney disease, vesicular fibrosis and adrenal disorder

Lack of diabetes treatment or lack of control increases the risk of developing dehydration. There are also chronic diseases and other conditions that may be affected by drought, including alcoholism, kidney disease, vesicular fibrosis and adrenal disorder. And even a cold or sore throat, as the last two displays make the person vulnerable to drought because they may reduce the desire to eat and drink during illness. High temperatures also increase dehydration.

The causes of dehydration when players endurance sports .. Especially in warm and humid climates or in highlands, marathons, long races, mountain climbing and cycling competitions

Athletes who are trained to participate in marathons, long races, mountain climbing, and cycling competitions are at high risk of injury, because the longer the person exercises, the harder it becomes for a person to exercise. Maintains the moisture of his body.
During exercise, the body can absorb about 700-950 ml of water per hour, but may lose twice that amount in hot weather. Droughts also accumulate over several days, meaning that a person can become dehydrated even when exercising moderately high activity if he does not drink enough fluids to compensate for what he loses daily.

Symptoms of severe dehydration in young children.. Disruption of tears, saliva, dry mouth, tongue, self-acceleration, heartbeat, and skin recovery to normal state slowly if it has been pinched

Symptoms of severe drought in young children include:
• The child stops playing or feels so sleepy that it is difficult for her to wake up.
• The appearance of a soft spot clearly hidden in the head, and the eyes become clearly blurred.
• Cut off tears and saliva, in addition to dry mouth and tongue.
• Do not urinate for more than 12 hours.
• Self-acceleration and heartbeat.
• Recover the skin to its normal state slowly if it was pinched.

Symptoms of moderate dehydration in young children.. The appearance of a soft spot in the head and turning the eyes to the two chambers and decrease the amount of tears and dry mouth and tongue

Symptoms of mild drought in young children include:
• Do not urinate for 8 hours or moisten less than 3 diapers within 24 hours.
• The appearance of a soft spot in the head.
• Turn the eyes into two chambers and decrease the amount of tears.
• Dry mouth and tongue more than usual.
• Hunger or extreme thirst.

Symptoms of severe dehydration.. Acute anxiety and pulse acceleration and weakened and turned the skin either to cool and wet or hot and dry and loss of consciousness

Severe droughts are a serious condition that threatens a person's life. Therefore, any of the following symptoms require immediate medical intervention:
• Change in mental state or anxiety.
• Feeling of fainting that does not disappear when lying down.
• Pulse acceleration and weakness.
• Turn the skin either to cool and wet or hot and dry.
• Unconsciousness.

Symptoms of dehydration average.. The color of the urine turned dark, dull or brown, increased thirst, dry mucous membranes, saliva, tears, and feeling faint

Symptoms of moderate drought include:
• The rate of urination decreases half the number of times in normal mode, where the rate becomes 3 times or less within 24 hours.
• Turns urine color darker or darker.
• Increase thirst.
• Dry mucous membranes, where saliva and tears decrease.
• Feeling faint, but this feeling improves when lying down.

The causes of dehydration.. Loss of body amounts of water and salts due to illness or preoccupation, diarrhea, exhaustion, fever, excessive sweating and urination a lot

Drought occurs when the body loses more water and salts than is compensated. Although an adult loses more than 10 glasses (about 2.5 liters) of water a day by sweating, breathing and removing waste from the body, and loses minerals such as sodium, calcium and potassium - which maintains fluid balance in the body - What he can compensate for what he lost through the food and drink consumed, even if the exercise of physical activities to help the loss of water and salts.
Drought can sometimes occur for simple reasons, including not drinking enough fluids due to illness or preoccupation, or because there is no nearby water source, sometimes during travel, climbing, and camping, for example.
Other causes of dehydration include diarrhea, vomiting, fever, severe sweating and excessive urination.
