Dehydration refers to a state of reduced total body water (TBW) volume below the normal level due to mainly intracellular fluid loss without a proportional reduction in cellular electrolytes such as sodium and potassium. Physiologically, dehydration simu
People who are active outsidein warm weather,like those who work in jobs such as construction or surveying, sometimes can’t cool down effectively because their sweat doesn’t evaporate. This can lead to a higher body temperature and a need for more fluids. ...
The human body is homoiothermic and has to keep its core body temperature within a narrow range around 37 °C. However, core body temperature as well as skin temperatures can vary in dependence of body heat production (e.g., through muscle activity) and climatic conditions. Core body temper...
