Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat.

Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
