Over 50% of workers will start their day already under-hydrated and will only replace 1/2 of the fluid lost as sweat – as they don’t have the knowledge of a proper drinking program. Add to the high sweat rates and high electrolyte loss in extreme environmental conditions. Workers can finish the day extremely dehydrated.
Involuntary dehydration is a major concern during a workday (especially as sweat increases). It is a phenomenon of replacing water without replacing electrolytes. THORZT replaces water alongside electrolytes
– restoring the optimal fluid: electrolyte balance and preventing this occurring.
HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO REPLACE/MAINTAIN ELECTROLYTE BALANCE?
When we sweat, we don’t just lose water, but also essential salts and minerals known as electrolytes. Electrolytes control the osmosis or movement of water within the body (water retention) as well as play a large number of other key roles within the body. Common electrolytes include Chloride, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium.
When the body loses fluid and electrolytes, both must be replaced for the body to rehydrate, retain fluid and return to efficient functioning before heat illness sets in.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM DEHYDRATED?
The symptoms of dehydration are difficult to determine in the early stages, but can include dryness of the
mouth and thirst, dry warm skin, dizziness or cramping in the arms and legs.
As dehydration increases, signs may include:
• Irritability
• Drowsiness
• Irrational thinking
• Skin inelasticity
• Facial Flushing
• Increased Pulse rate
• Darker urine
• Passing less urine than normal
• Sunken eyes
• Headaches
• Delayed reaction time
• Decreased cognitive ability
