What Is Hydration?
Ever felt so thirsty that when you drank some water it was the best thing you ever had to drink in your life? You just couldn't get enough water. Well, this was likely due to you being dehydrated, which means that your body is in a state of not having enough water for it to function optimally. Signs that you are dehydrated include muscle cramps, confusion, rapid pulse, and headaches. In order to get your body back into its normal state, you had to go through the process of replacing the missing water or hydration. One way to know that you are no longer dehydrated is that the signs of dehydration will disappear rather promptly.
Methods of Hydration
Hydration can be accomplished in a few different ways. One way is the way we were just discussing, which is simply drinking water. Another way to hydrate the body is by eating ice chips. The ice chips will melt thereby supplying the body with water. Consumable other liquids provide water to help with hydration too. These would include drinks like coffee, tea, lemonade, soda, etc. Even the foods that we eat contain some amount of water. Some foods contain more water than others. Foods such as lettuce, some vegetables, and most fruits are mostly composed of water. So, eating is another way to hydrate.
Sometimes we become so dehydrated that we must seek medical care, and they may choose to hydrate us using different means. The most common method used in the medical facility for hydrating people is administering fluids through an IV or intravenous line. This supplies water directly into the bloodstream through a vein, which hydrates the body even faster than drinking the water. Another method used in medical facilities is to inject fluids directly into the tissues of the body for it to be absorbed. This is the slowest process of hydration.
