DID YOU KNOW THAT

DEHYDRATION COULD CAUSE DEATH?

• Water is a key component of blood. When you become dehydrated, blood volume decreases, the heart must work harder to maintain circulation. Prolonged stress on the heart can lead to heart failure, especially in individuals who already have heart-related conditions.

• With insufficient blood volume, reduces blood flow and oxygen to vital organs, such as the brain, kidneys, and liver, can potentially lead to organ failure and death.

• Dehydration can impair the body's ability to regulate temperature. Without enough fluids, the body’s cooling mechanism (sweating) is compromised, leading to heat stroke. In this condition, body temperature can rise to dangerous levels, resulting in organ damage, brain damage, and death if not treated promptly.

• Electrolyte imbalances caused by dehydration (especially a lack of sodium and potassium) can trigger seizures. Severe and prolonged seizures can cause permanent brain damage or death if untreated.

Please carry water everywhere you go, especially when you exercise and in hot weather. Add a pinch of salt if necessary, I personally like coconut water and BODYARM drinks.
