Dehydration Infographic for Patients

Abstract:

We lose water naturally every day, but dehydration occurs when we lose more fluids than we take in. Because humans are made up mostly of water and electrolytes, we need to maintain a proper balance in our system. This means staying hydrated throughout the day to regulate our moods, boost brain function, prevent fatigue, and more.
