Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth.
