Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation.

Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
