Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates.

Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
