<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhile the summer season is the perfect time to get into your beautiful, flowy summer dresses and spend time on the beach, it is also the season of sweat, rashes, and general exhaustion due to the scorching heat. Several bodily processes like digestion and temperature regulation are affected if we do not take adequate care of our bodies during this season ^{1<\/sup><\/a>^,<\/sup>}^{2<\/sup><\/a>. This may result in several illnesses, many of which can be totally avoided if we take care of our hydration and nutrient needs in the summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}

<\/span>Why Does Your Body Need Adequate Hydration, Especially During the Summer?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOur bodies lose a lot of water and essential electrolytes through perspiration during summer. It may lead to dehydration and affect our bodies\u2019 natural process of regulating the body temperature and cooling down ^{2<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
Here is why hydration is important:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Overheating can result in extreme exhaustion or even <\/strong>heat stroke, which can be fatal, if not treated on time^{1<\/sup><\/a>. Consuming plenty of water and other fluids is necessary to replenish this lost water}^{2<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n}
Mild dehydration can, in fact, affect your mood, memory and reaction time. Drinking enough water helps maintain these functions, helps reduce anxiety, and also stabilises the emotions , especially in the elderly ^{3<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n}
Water plays an important role in digestion. It prevents gas trouble, heartburn, bloating, and irregular bowel movements ^{3<\/sup><\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n}
Dehydration can affect blood circulation, which can reduce oxygen transport to the brain. As a result, the heart has to do more work to supply the body with the required oxygen. This makes you feel tired, inactive, and less focused ^{3<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n}
Staying hydrated prevents kidney stones by reducing the concentration of minerals in urinary tract and kidneys. It also helps maintain electrolyte balance in the body, which supports healthy muscle function and smoother heart activity ^{3<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n}
Body detoxification is only possible if it is properly hydrated. Being adequately hydrated helps remove waste from the body by supporting overall health ^{3<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n}

Lethargy, weak or rapid pulse, low levels of consciousness and inadequate urine output are common signs of dehydration, adequate intake of water is very essential each day as there\u2019s no mechanism for our body to store water.<\/p>\n Dr Ashish Bajaj, M.B.B.S., M.D. in Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/cite><\/blockquote>
