Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth.

With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
