<h3>Your body temperature and heart rate may rise. That’s because when the total amount of water in your body is below normal level (hypohydration) your body can’t properly regulate heat. </h3><h3>You may feel more fatigued than usual.</h3><h3>You may not be able to think clearly – your motor control, decision-making abilities and concentration may be impaired. </h3><h3>Your body’s functions may slow down – this includes gastric emptying, so you may feel uncomfortable in your stomach.</h3><h3>Your performance in sport or exercise may not be as good as it could be. The impact is even worse when you’re active and dehydrated in hot conditions.</h3><h3>Drinking more water will help to maintain your concentration and performance, increase your endurance, and prevent excessive elevations in heart rate and body temperature. It’s all about sufficient hydration.</h3>
