What is Dehydration?
By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Dehydration is a condition that results when the body loses more water than it takes in. This imbalance disrupts the usual levels of salts and sugars present in the blood, which can interfere with the way the body functions.
Two-thirds of the human body is composed of water, which aids in numerous functions such as lubrication of the joints and eyes, digestion, and the flushing out of wastes and toxins. As the water content in the blood begins to decline, the resulting imbalance in the levels of minerals, salts and sugars can cause several harmful effects.
