Why do Humans get dehydrated so quickly?

646 viewsBiologyOther

Been seeing that you should keep drinking until your pee is clear, but its quite astounding how quickly the pee turns dark. Like just 4h of no water or eating a meal will turn it dark. If water is needed so often how do people of the past (who probably don’t have that frequent access to water) even live?

1. Our bodies are like machines, and water is the fuel that keeps them running.
2. People lose water throughout the day. When we breathe, sweat, piss, or cry, we’re losing water like a bucket with a hole in.
3. On hot days or when we play outside, we sweat a lot. Sweating helps cool us down, but it also means we’re losing water.
4. Sometimes we get sick, and our bodies fight off germs. When we have a fever, we get hotter, and that makes us lose even more water.
5. Sometimes we forget to drink enough water. If we don’t drink enough, we become like a dried-up plant.

Also don’t drink until your piss is clear that’s very unnecessary
