Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. 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. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
