Show March 10, 2004 Ask A Specialist SunNes 3 by Utah State University Extension DO YOU HAVE TIPS TO HELP PREVENT DEHYDRATION? Answer by: Nedra Christensen, USU Extension Nutrition and Food Science Specialist; Pauline Williams, Family & Consumer Science. The hydration status of a person refers to body water balance. Water or fluid has many positive effects on the body, including lowering the heart rate, keeping a lower core temperature during exercise and assisting with proper mental functioning. Dehydration occurs when people dont have enough fluid in their bodies. It can be caused by diarrhea, vomiting, overheating, diabetes, diuretic medications, high fever or excessive sweating.

When adequate fluids are consumed, there is a significant reduction in confusion. The ability to feel thirst lessens with age, so seniors especially need to be aware of proper hydration. In the aging process, bodies begin losing muscle and gaining fat. Muscle holds water but fat does not, so as a person ages, body water decreases. For optimal performance, access to fluids is especially important during exercise. In one study, running speeds decreased by 6 to 7 percent when the athlete was dehydrated.

If you are sedentary or a moderate exerciser, water is sufficient for hydration. If you are exercising strenuously, sodium (salt) replacement is necessary. If you consume enough sodium at a meal prior to exercising, sodium rehydration beverages are generally not necessary.
