what exactly does dehydration do to your body?
In: 9
Your body needs lots of things transported all over the place and it uses water for a lot of that.
At a large scale it needs water to move food from your mouth through your digestive system and extract the energy and other nutrients from the food. At a smaller scale it needs blood, which is mostly water, to move nutrients around to give you energy, and to carry out waste. All of these things are, in a way, using water to transport important things.
If you get dehydrated, the waterways get clogged up and things can’t move through the water as fast. So you can’t get food and energy in, and you can’t take out the trash. So the trash builds up and you get weak and hungry.
