1. of DEHYDRATION And Safety Protocols G-1 Signs & Symptoms

2. What is Dehydration? Dehydration is a condition caused by the loss of too much fluid from the body. It happens when you are losing more fluids than you are taking in, and your body does not have enough fluids to work properly.

4. Mild Dehydration Symptoms Thirst Loss of Appetite Dry Skin Skin Flushing Dark Colored Urine Dry Mouth Fatigue or Weakness Head Rushes

5. When Total Fluid Loss is 5% Increase heart rate Increase respiration Decrease sweating Decrease urination Increase body temperature Extreme fatigue Muscle cramps Headaches Nausea Tingling of limbs

6. When Total Fluid Loss is 10% Muscle spasms Vomiting Racing pulse Shriveled skin Dim Vision Painful urination Confusion Difficulty breathing Seizures Chest and Abdominal pain Unconciousness

7. Vomiting and diarrhea Blood loss or malnutrition Not drinking enough water Excessive sweating and urination Fever or illness increasing body temperature Failure to replace lost fluids Note: When ill, drink plenty of fluids to help the body expel toxins and stay hydrated Causes of Dehydration

8. Electrolytes & Dehydration Rehydration is the treatment for dehydration – replacing lost water and electrolytes. During dehydration, the body also loses electrolytes (mainly sodium and potassium) These should be replaced through sports drinks or oral rehydration solutions. Electrolytes are vital for cell and nerve function.

9. Treatment for Dehydration For mild dehydration: Give water slowly in small sips. Replace electrolytes (sports drinks, oral rehydration solution, or salty snacks). Avoid solid food until symptoms improve, then eat a light, salty snack or meal. For severe dehydration: Call an ambulance immediately. Medical attention is needed if the person cannot keep fluids down or shows serious symptoms.

10. The body loses 2-3 liters of water daily through sweat, breath, and urine. Replace fluids regularly, especially during exercise or hot weather. Drink about 8 glasses of water per day (adjust as needed) Choose water – not soda, juice, or sugary drinks. Pay attention to u rine color – dark urine indicates dehydration. Infants, children, and the elderly are most at risk and need extra care. Prevention of Dehydration

11. Tips of Staying hydrated and Safety Protocols

12. Drinking Water Drinking enough water prevents dehydration, cleans the body, and supports healing. Replacing sugary drinks with water also helps control weight. Follow simple habits to stay hydrated everyday.

13. Determine Your Water Need The “ 8x8 rule”: eight 8-ounce glasses (=1.8 L) daily. Water needs depend on weight, activity, and climate. Formula: Weight ( lbs ) divided by 2 = ounce of water/day. Example: 150 lbs 75 oz (=2.2 L) per day.

14. Measure Water Intake Track how much water you drink daily. Do this for several days. If intake is low, use these hydration tips.

15. Re-educate Your Tongue’s Taste Get use to enjoying water again. Try different types or temperatures. “Love” drinking good and clean water.

16. Carry Water Daily Always keep a bottle or container with you. Sip water regularly throughout the day.

17. Add Flavor to Water Add lemon, lime, cucumber, or mint to make water taste better. Helps you drink more without adding sugar. Let fruit – infused water sit overnight for stronger flavor.

18. Eat Watery Fruits Eat water – rich fruits like watermelon (92% water) or tomato (95% water). Try watermelon smoothies with ice and min – refreshing and hydrating. This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY

19. Keep Water Cold Keep water cold if it helps you drink more. Store a pitcher in the fridge or freeze a sports bottle. Cold water burns a few calories but takes energy to warm.

20. Climate Hot weather increase water loss – drink more to replace sweat. Staying hydrated prevents heat – related illness. Cold weather also requires fluids (even when you don’t feel thirsty).
