Dehydration Overcome By Drinking Milk

In children, drank the milk was better to deal with dehydration compared with drinking energy drinks or plain water. Haus and feel dizzy while exercising is a sign you're dehydrated or body fluid and electrolyte deficiencies. The risk of dehydration is usually increased during the day, especially when the weather is scorching hot.

In addition to the liquid out through the sweat, body fluids and electrolytes contained in them are also out through the process of evaporation that occurs on the skin surface when we move.

Based on a study, every 1 percent loss of body fluids, the body's physical ability will be reduced to 15 percent. Included in it is difficult to concentrate, heart rate and body temperature increase and people will feel tired.

More severe dehydration can also lead to serious organ damage, even death. For example, people who bask too long in the sun will usually experience what is called heat stroke.

Quite vulnerable children affected by the dangers of dehydration because they are still in its infancy, and can result in organ function that is not perfect. Especially when the children were exercising in the hot sun and when the air was dry.

A study at McMaster University showed that drinking water only at certain times is not enough because it does not replace electrolytes lost through sweating body. But energy drinks are also not recommended for consumption of children.

The best alternative is dairy. Nutritional content is not only replace the fluid lost but also replace body electrolytes. Proteins and calcium in it is also good for muscle and bone cell formation.

"Children easily become dehydrated during exercise and they need enough water to replace body fluids. Milk is better because milk is rich in protein, carbohydrates, calcium and electrolytes," said Brian Timmons one researcher, as quoted from Indiavision.
