All tag results for 'dehydration'

Researchers have found that frostbite and hypothermia are not the only dangers for those who exercise, hike and play outdoors in the winter. Surprisingly, there is an increased risk for dehydration! You see, when the weather is cold, unlike hot weather or after sweaty workouts, people do not feel thirsty. How is water from our body lost? Through breathing. We do not sense why water intake may be needed because sweat evaporates beneath clothing in cold, dry air.

Since our bodies are made up of about two thirds water, it only takes a few percent of water loss to become dehydrated. It is interesting to note that our body relies on the sensation of thirst to maintain its fluid balance. The key to be adequately hydrated is to drink plenty of water, especially when outdoors in cold weather. Clear urine is a good indicator which shows you are not at risk of becoming dehydrated.

What you drink the night before is one of the most important factors in a hangover.

Many people plan on drinking tonight, and many will drink to excess. Please do it safely!!

A hangover is more than just drinking a lot, or even just dehydration.

There are substances called congeners that are in different drinks that can seriously contribute to how severe a hangover is.

Mixing drinks and switching between hard liquors exposes you to different types of congeners.

Collect the whole set for an awful hangover! LOLz!

A good trick, other than sticking to one type of alcohol, is to stay away from

Oh no!

Stacey Dash, Clueless girl turned Single Lady, has been hospitalized for "dehydration."

She was admitted to Encino Hospital in L.A., and apparently suspects it all stems from a meal she ate on Sunday night.

Sounds like food poisoning, because Dash "hasn't been able to hold down food or liquids … not even water."

Stacey was even plugged into an IV and treated, released soon after — so at least it wasn't crazy enough to keep her there forever!

That's good news!

Feel better, Stacey!

Is Tracy Morgan allergic to high altitude or something??

Poor guy is always getting super sick when he's high up! Just in January he collapsed due to a combination of exhaustion and altitude at Sundance!

This most recent case happened before a show in Denver — the comedian got so sick that he needed a wheelchair to catch his flight at the airport!

Here's what Tracy tweeted about it:

"Feeling a little better.. had to call in sick on Saturday. I'm sorry I had to cancel. Love you Denver. I'll make it up to you."

According to his rep, Tracy had the flu before he went to Colorado (and is feeling fine as of now), and he even spent some time at the hospital for dehydration and flu-like symptoms. Such a bummer!

Well, Tracy, we hope you get better soon!

Maybe try and avoid those heights??

This is scary!

A mysterious disease has become an epidemic in Central America after killing more than 24,000 people in El Salvador and Nicaragua since 2000!

Health officials are stumped as to why so many are dying and being diagnosed with chronic kidney disease at dramatically higher rates than any other country in the world.

There are two theories that may explain why so many people in the region are being affected. Many are blaming

The producers of the Australian weight loss reality show, Excess Baggage, must be putting Kevin Federline through some VERY tough physical challenges.

Sources report that Britney Spears' ex-husband "was in the hospital for four days after he got sick and passed out" in mid-November.

He was treated for heatstroke and dehydration after he had "to swim across a river with alligators on the show.”

Wait, what?!

Please, don't try the K-Fed workout routine at home! Ha!
