Removes waste - urine helps remove waste from body.

37
Q

What are symptoms of dehydration and impact?

A

Thirst
Headache - fluid loss to brain = hard to concentrate.
Thickens blood and increases HR - thicker blood is harder to pump so takes more energy, less oxygen to muscles.
Muscle fatigue - Lactic acid builds up, waste is not removed fast enough.
Confusion/ overheat - difficult to perform tasks, lack of focus, fainting.
