Dehydration is a common complaint during hot and humid weather. This is because humidity can make you feel hotter. That’s why a 320C can feel like 380C if the humidity level is as high as 65%!
Importance of hydration –
- Our body is made up of 70% water which is concentrated in all our cells. Dehydration strips the cells of water and vital minerals and hence a person feels tired, lethargic, and dizzy. Dehydration during monsoon can happen to anyone of any age. Therefore, it is very important to drink an ample amount of mineral water to replenish the body’s mineral balance and maintain a healthy temperature.
- During monsoon, people prefer multiple cups of hot beverages like coffee or tea over plain water and hence they do not realize how little water they have consumed. You may not even realize you are dehydrated until you start feeling giddy or have muscle cramps. Even a 2% decrease in the body’s water weight can lead to problems like forgetfulness, confusion, and visual disturbance1. On an average, an adult needs 2-3 liters of water daily to stay well hydrated”
