SureHire explains Dehydration

Dehydration relates to loss of water content within the human body that can cause dangerous consequences to the systemic integrity of vital organs. Most organisms depend on the adequate supply of water and the crucial elements it comprises, including hydrogen and oxygen, to maintain life. The human body itself is a complex machine of interrelated organs and their designated percentage of water content carried in blood to provide rich minerals while, reciprocally, filtering out waste through perspiration and urination.
