Dehydration

Dehydration occurs when the body loses more fluids than it takes in, disrupting its normal functions. This can happen due to excessive sweating, illness, diarrhea, vomiting, or not drinking enough water. Symptoms include thirst, dry mouth, fatigue, dizziness, and reduced urine output. Severe dehydration can lead to serious health issues, so it's important to stay hydrated by drinking water regularly, especially during hot weather or when exercising. Maintaining a balance of fluids helps keep the body functioning properly, supporting processes like temperature regulation and nutrient transportation.
