Dehydration

Dehydration is the loss of fluids from the body and describes the state the body is in when its fluid levels are too low. Dehydration can result in over-heating, dizziness and sickness. It can occur as a result of when the rate of perspiration outweighs the intake of fluid. It is important to drink sufficient levels of fluid before, during and after any physical activity, as well as throughout the day.
