Summer 2022: heat wave , dehydration and high temperatures

Sunny days are coming and summer is fast approaching. During this period, the amount of water that comes out of our body is greater, so we must compensate for this loss of water in order to avoid dehydration. Indeed, our body needs its daily dose, and to be hydrated on a regular basis during these high temperatures.

Our human body is made up of more than 60% water and water is essential for its proper functioning. Every day, approximately 2 to 3 liters of water are eliminated through perspiration, urine, breathing, etc... it is therefore necessary to maintain a sufficient water supply. In some situations, the quantity of water eliminated may vary and may be higher, for example, during sports activities, high heat, illnesses, alcohol consumption, etc... so care must be taken in order to increase our water intake according to the situation.

Poor hydration can lead to several disorders in your body:

Symptoms of dehydration:

• dry lips
• an intense thirst
• Headaches
• Nausea
• Dizziness
• Urine color (dark yellow)
• Aches, cramps or muscle pain.

Dehydration can have significant consequences, which is why it must be treated fairly quickly! We must therefore remain vigilant and not neglect hydration!

How to prevent dehydration ?

Simply hydrate more! It is advisable to drink a glass of water every 20 minutes in order to counterbalance the loss of hydration contained in the urine. In the event of a heat wave, this need intensifies because the body also undergoes dehydration due to heavy perspiration.
