When a person feels thirsty, the brain has already received the signal that the organs lack water, and then transmits it to the sensory center through the brain, so that the feeling of thirst appears.
The brain sends a thirst signal, which means that the body is in a state of short-term water shortage. If you wait for a long time to drink water after being thirsty, it will easily damage the kidney’s ability to detoxify and excrete.

Sweat is made up of body fluids, and frequent sweating also consumes part of the body’s water.
People who are prone to sweating lose water faster than normal people, and they need to replenish more. It is recommended that friends who like to sweat can carry a water cup with them, and drink saliva when they find they are sweating, so as to prevent the body from causing discomfort due to excessive sweating.
