3. What Causes Dehydration?
Dehydration happens if a person takes in less water than they need to support their body's activity level. Athletes may become dehydrated if they exercise intensely without drinking enough water. Even sedentary people can experience dehydration during the summer if the weather is far hotter than normal.
Dehydration may also occur as a result of water loss from diarrhea caused by food poisoning or gastric distress, for example. Hydration salts can help replenish lost water and electrolytes in people who are unwell.
