OF OUR BODY WEIGHT IN WATER
FOR US TO FEEL THE PHYSICAL
EFFECTS OF DEHYDRATION.

The narrator says, HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS ADVISE THAT
WE DRINK TWO LITRES OF FLUIDS
EVERY DAY TO COMPENSATE
FOR THE WATER WE LOSE
THROUGH PEEING, SWEATING,
BREATHING, AND POOPING.
YOU CAN ALSO GET WATER
BY EATING CERTAIN FOODS,
LIKE APPLES, ORANGES,
TOMATOES, CUCUMBERS,
BUT BEST OF ALL ARE MELONS,
WHICH ARE 98% WATER!

HEAD IS SWELLING.

DEHYDRATION IS THIRST.
OUR BODIES ARE TELLING US,
"HEY, DRINK SOME WATER!"
ANOTHER SIGN IS A DRY MOUTH
AND BAD BREATH.
YOU MAY ALSO HAVE DARK CIRCLES
UNDER YOUR EYES
AND FEEL IRRITABLE.
WHEN IT GETS REALLY BAD, YOU MAY
EXPERIENCE HEADACHE, FATIGUE,
FEVER, CRAMPS, FAINTNESS,
OR EVEN VOMITING.

THAT LAST DETAIL UP!

[Creature groaning]

The narrator says, NUMBER 2: YOUR SKIN BECOMES LESS
ELASTIC.

The narrator explains, WHEN WE LACK WATER, OUR SKIN
BECOMES LESS ELASTIC.
THIS CAN BE EASILY CHECKED
BY PINCHING YOUR SKIN
BETWEEN YOUR THUMB
AND FOREFINGER.
IF YOU'RE MILDLY DEHYDRATED,
THE SKIN TAKES JUST A FEW
SECONDS TO REGAIN ITS SHAPE.
IF IT STAYS HIGH AND DRY, YOU
SERIOUSLY NEED TO HYDRATE STAT!

Text in a red circle reads, #1.

The narrator says, NUMBER 1:
DEHYDRATION CAN AFFECT MEMORY.

MODERATE DEHYDRATION
CAN AFFECT MEMORY IN CHILDREN.

The narrator says, IT MEANS THAT PASSING EXAMS
WILL BE MORE DIFFICULT
IF YOU'RE DEHYDRATED.
SO BEFORE AN EXAM, MAKE SURE
THAT YOU GET THOSE FLUIDS IN.
TAKE SPECIAL CARE TO
KEEP YOURSELF WELL-HYDRATED
IN HOT WEATHER, WHEN YOU
EXERCISE, OR WHEN YOU'RE SICK.

A smiling sun shines brightly.

[Birds tweeting]

The blue creature runs.

The narrator says, WITH ALL THESE TIPS,
YOU'LL NEVER COME UP DRY
ON DEHYDRATION AGAIN!

H2-YO TO THAT!
