Proven Ways To Treat Dehydration

Regulate Body Temperature

One of the main functions of water is to assist the body with temperature regulation. High internal temperatures increase fluid needs. To address this, take other steps to bring the body temperature to the normal range. Remove excess clothing and ensure the ambient temperature is cool. This may require the use of air conditioning, shade, and fans. In dry climates, it may be necessary to mist the skin with water. Avoid exposing the skin to very cold temperatures, such as in a cold shower or with ice, since this will promote shivering, which increases body temperature.
