Severe Dehydration
Time To Act!
Severe dehydration occurs when the body loses more fluids than it takes in, leading to a dangerous lack of water to function properly. It's a serious condition that can cause rapid heart rate, low blood pressure, confusion, and even seizures or shock. Immediate medical attention, often including intravenous fluids, is crucial for treatment.
Rapid Heartbeat and Breathing
The body tries to compensate for low blood volume by increasing heart and breathing rates.
Confusion, Irritability, or Dizziness
Brain function can be impaired by dehydration, leading to altered mental state.
Fainting or Loss of Consciousness
In severe cases, the individual may become unresponsive or exhibit signs of confusion which could possibly also lead to loss of consciousness.
Fainting or Loss of Consciousness/ Shock
In severe cases, dehydration can lead to loss of consciousness. A life-threatening condition where the body is not getting enough blood flow which could trigger, in extreme cases, seizures!
Nutritional Value
A Balanced Diet
A balanced diet and proper hydration are both crucial for overall health, and they work synergistically to support bodily functions. Water is essential for nutrient absorption, digestion, and maintaining body temperature, while a balanced diet provides the necessary nutrients to fuel these processes.
A balanced diet provides the essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, and fats), that the body needs for optimal function.
