Dehydration
Water is essential for life. All life forms need water to survive and function. Humans are composed of around 60 percent water. Water is used to hydrate the skin, lubricate the joints, and maintain appropriate body temperature. All organs, whether internal or external, function properly with the help of the fluid flowing inside the body. It cleanses bacteria and viruses and heals damaged tissues and cells. However, there are diseases caused by drowning (of water) in the lungs and illnesses caused by lack of fluids inside the body. One of these is dehydration.
Dehydration happens when the body loses more fluids than it has. The fluid is lost due to constant sweating (especially when the weather is too hot or during physical exercises and strenuous activities), tears from the eyes, urinating consistently, vomiting, and releasing saliva or mucus. When these lost fluids cannot be replaced immediately, dehydration occurs. Dehydration is also a manifestation of bowel obstruction. When the bowels are blocked, the intestines get swollen from the substances like food and waste stuck in them, making them less likely to absorb fluids.
