Dehydration by Charlie H.

I chose dehydration because people don't pay enough attention to how much water they drink. If you don't drink nearly any water for more than a couple days you might start to get sick because you have not got back the number that was lost. Dehydration is when your body doesn't have enough water to keep it working right. You mostly lose water when you sweat, but you even lose a little water when you breath. Usually it's pretty easy to make up for the water that we sweat out. Some signs of dehydration are feeling lightheaded, a fast heartbeat, or dry lips or mouth. You should try to drink 8 glasses a day but any number close to that is fine too, just find the right amount for you. If you're thirsty the best drink is water or milk but a Gatorade every once in awhile won't hurt. This topic connects to our science class because a common type of dehydration is cellular dehydration where your cells are unhealthy because they need water. I got my information here.
