For person with an average weight of 70 kilograms the fluid deficit to 3 liters, can significantly affects all the processes of life.

The body begins to absorb alcohol as soon as it gets inside. To do this, your liver needs water to dilute the toxins, so it uses water from the other parts of your body.

Since alcohol is a diuretic, water faster out of your body, and the liver begins to collect water from other organs including the brain, which naturally makes you feel like a fish on land.

Alcohol dehydrates the body and dehydration causes the weakness, exaggerated feeling of hunger, and reduces the normal muscle cells viability.

Well-saturated water body provides colorless urine – if you do not take into account coloring components of your food. In the body on dehydrated person the urine is yellow. In the state of severe dehydration the person produces orange urine.

The scientists have always argued that the energy of the body provides with the food through education of acid (ATP) and the water was not taken into account. However, the water produces energy, forcing ionic proteins of cell membranes to work.

Water triggers the sodium-potassium «pump», making necessary energy for normal functioning of cell, which is the trigger off and exchange of intracellular.

It is the maintenance of acid-alkali balance which must be within 7, 4 is the neutral state between the acidic and alkaline medium body, indicating its normal operation.

The larger cell is dehydrated, the more it depends on the energy from food intake, which contributes to the accumulation of fat, and the body receives the energy from protein and starches consumption. Dry skin, wrinkles and other external manifestations – this is not an old age, but the lack of water in cells.

Water is not just a liquid, but the nutrient medium for the cells. Since dehydration initially reduced cellular fluid (66%), followed by extracellular (26%), and then the water is extracted from the bloodstream (8%).

This is made in order to provide water, primarily in the brain cells that must continually remove the toxic products, resulting from its activities. The brain contains 85% of water, and some data even up to 92%, and the loss of even 1% of which leads to irreversible consequences.

The human body has many ways to communicate its general or local water needs, including the development of various complications, such as asthma and allergies. Among other signs of water there are localized chronic pain in the stomach and colon, rheumatoid joint pains, pains in the back and legs, headaches, colitis, and – most terrifying sign – pain in the heart. Especially from dehydration affects the immune system cells, the breach of which raises the so-called immune disease. These are all chronic diseases: bronchitis, asthma, infertility, lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer disease, cancer. This is a complex disease, involving all the connective structure, where there are violations of all the biological processes of energy and lack of water.

When the body is dehydrated and need the water, he can recharge it if the body has enough salt, which normalizes the content and intercellular fluid. Once the cells are «satisfied» with liquid, eliminated the factors that cause disease, and with it come the recovery. Of course, all this is possible against the backdrop of a range of activities, including personal, social and economic factors in which people and their health put at the first place.

If the body temperature is over 40 ° C, the doctors cool the body. In this case they can use special cooling sprays, fans, chilled sheets and bathes.

• Fluid therapy

If the patient has no nausea and vomiting, the doctor may start with the infusion therapy. The patient will offered water and liquids with the contents of carbohydrate / electrolyte.

With significant symptoms of dehydration (increased heart rate, low blood pressure), fluid is introduced intravenously.

• Hospitalization

With improvement, the patient can go home and continue treatment there. If the patient is dehydrated, unconscious, febrile illness with pathologic indicators of vital signs or symptoms of infection, he should stay in the hospital for further treatment.

Dehydration is very dangerous for children and elderly people. The greatest danger it represents for the newborn. Carefully watch for symptoms, the disease develops with high fever, nausea or diarrhea.

The main objective of dehydration treatment – providing fluid for dehydrated people.

• Drink water in small sips.
• Choose drinks with the content of carbohydrate / electrolyte. Best – sports drinks.
• Try frozen juice and sports drinks.
• Try ice chips.
• Drink from the tube.

Try to cool the person with a fever the following ways:

• Remove excess clothing and loosen the rest.
• The rooms with air conditioners are the best option for rapid recovery of body temperature.
• If there is no air conditioner, the victim should sit near the fan or in the shade, it is desirable to wrap a wet towel.
• If possible, use a bottle with a spray nozzle for irrigation water to cool the body.
• Avoid excessive cooling, do not attach great long chunks of ice, otherwise the blood vessels narrow and that slow down the normalization of the temperature.

2% dehydration – a feeling of anxiety, reduced appetite and efficiency by 20%.

4% dehydration – a feeling of nausea, dizziness, emotional instability, fatigue.

6% dehydration – loss of coordination, coherence of speech.

10% dehydration – breached thermoregulation in addition to all said below symptoms. Cells are beginning to die.

11% dehydration – now it’s not enough to drink water. The chemical balance of the organism has undergone serious changes. In order to restore it you need professional medical care.

20% dehydration – may lead to death.

Our bodies require a certain amount of fluid at least one liter daily. Requirements depend on the activity and age, but the most active people need two-three liters every day. Receiving fluid is needed for fluids replace in the body.

The following information is intended for everyone, and provides some recommendations to avoid the effects of dehydration. However, treatment must be an individual.

Dehydration symptoms are difficult to distinguish from symptoms of other diseases, but, in general, mild dehydration has the following early warning signs and symptoms:

• High thirst.
• Dry mouth and adhesive saliva.
• Reduced urination, when the urine color becomes dark yellow.
• Fatigue.

Secondary dehydration symptoms include:

• Extreme thirst.
• Dryness of the mouth; crying without tears.
• Reduced urination, or half of the normal urination amount for 24 hours (usually 3 or fewer urination). The urine is dark yellow or brown color.
• Slight dizziness.
• Legs and hands are cold.
• Hurried hear beating.
• Loss of appetite.

Severe dehydration symptoms may be presented by (even if you noticed only one of pointed below):

• Changes in behavior, such as a heightened sense of fear, embarrassment, inattention.
• Dizziness, which did not pass if you put the person on a bed.
• Inability to stand or walk.
• Hurried breath.
• Weak, rapid pulse.
• Cold and adhesive skin, or hot and dry skin.
• Slight urination within 12 hours or longer.
• The loss of consciousness.

By the time of severe dehydration there are no enough fluid to bring the blood to vital organs in human body. Severe dehydration should be treated in hospital. If you noticed any severe dehydration symptoms, immediately call an ambulance or other medical service.

Ask your doctor if you have the following dehydration symptoms:

• Intensive or continuous vomiting throughout the day;
• high fever;
• diarrhea more than 2 days;
• weight loss;
• reduced urination;
• stupefaction;
• weakness.

Take the patient into the hospital, if it has:

• High temperatures above 39 ° C;
• Retardation;
• Headache;
• Seizures;
• Trouble breathing;
• Chest pain;
• Urine absences within 12 hours.

However, there is a chronic form of dehydration, with no acute symptoms. Today, chronic dehydration is widely distributed and affects everyone who does not drink enough fluids.

Here is a list of twelve symptoms of dehydration. Read it and you’ll want to drink a glass of water right now. And then another. And another…

Exhaustion, lack of energy. Dehydration reduces tissue enzymatic activity.

Constipation. When the brome enters intestinal tract, it contains too much water, which prevents the form of stool. Therefore, the wall of the intestines sucks it. As a condition of chronic dehydration intestine takes too much water of stool in order to send it to other body organs.

Eating Disorders. Upon chronic dehydration reduces the allocation of digestive juices.

Low or high blood pressure. The blood volume is insufficient to fill all the arteries, veins and capillaries of the body.

Gastritis, gastric ulcer. In order to protect mucous membranes of the stomach from the destruction of gastrointestinal acid, the stomach should be lined with a mucous membrane.

Problems with the respiratory system. Mucous membranes of respiratory system should be slightly humidified in order to protect the respiratory system from harmful substances from the inhaled air.

Violation of the acid-alkaline balance. Dehydration slows down the formulation of enzymes and, consequently, causes oxidation of the body.

Extra weight and obesity. We overeat because we need water contained in food. Thirst is often confused with hunger.

Eczema. Your body requires sufficient moisture per day in order to allocate 600-700 ml of water. This amount is needed to dilute the toxins, skin irritants.

Cholesterol. When the cells are losing too much moisture, the body tries to stop this loss by producing more cholesterol.

Cystitis, infections of the urinary canal. If toxins in the urine is not sufficiently diluted with water, they begin to destroy the mucous membrane of urinary channel.

Rheumatism. Because dehydration increases the concentration of toxins in the blood and cellular fluid, the more toxins, the stronger the pain.

Medical drugs can also cause an increase in fluid loss. Resection or ileostomy of stomach can make people more prone to dehydration.
