Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
