Stay hydrated

Stay hydrated 

Staying hydrated in summer is crucial due to the physiological effects of heat stress on the human body. When temperatures rise, our bodies lose water and electrolytes through sweat, disrupting the delicate balance of bodily fluids. Dehydration can impair cognitive function, physical performance, and even lead to serious health issues like heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

From a scientific perspective, hydration plays a vital role in thermoregulation, allowing our bodies to dissipate heat efficiently. Even mild dehydration can cause a decline in blood volume, leading to a decrease in blood pressure and reduced sweat production. Drinking enough water helps maintain proper blood circulation, enabling the body to transport heat from the core to the skin, where it can be dissipated.
Research suggests that individualized hydration plans can help optimize physical performance and reduce the risk of heat-related illnesses. Monitoring hydration status through urine specific gravity, body weight changes, and thirst levels can provide valuable insights. By understanding the science behind hydration, individuals can take informed steps to stay safe and healthy during the summer months, ensuring optimal physical and mental performance.
We, scad polytechnic college took care of our students with fresh water, ensuring they stayed hydrated and focused throughout their academic journey. By providing access to clean drinking water, we not only supported their physical health but also enhanced their ability to learn and grow. This small gesture reflects our institution's commitment to nurturing the well-being and success of every student
