August 29, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
New York, NEW YORK, August, 2005 – It is not necessary to have to be hiking through the desert to be at risk of becoming severely dehydrated. Water makes up 60% of the human body and the recommended average daily intake is 1.9 liters. During the summer months, it is especially important to make sure employees are provided with a safe, pure and simple means of obtaining water. OfficeCoffee.com, famous for connecting the business community with the best coffee services available in a specified location free of charge, is also the perfect way to find reputable water vendors for the workplace.

Still not convinced of the importance water plays in everyday human health and well-being? On average there are 400 heat-related deaths a year in the United States alone. Therefore, proper hydration is essential - especially during periods of extreme heat and humidity. The average person loses about 40 ounces of water per day under normal circumstances. Moisture is nearly always being released from the body, through perspiration, saliva and even simply exhaling. Because our bodies are constantly losing water, we must strive to ensure that we are replacing at least as much as is being lost, and it is important to provide your employees with an easy means with which to do so.

Dehydration can happen to anyone, regardless of age, size or physical conditioning. Early warning signs include nausea, headaches, dry lips and a loss of energy:

Safety Tips For Staying Properly Hydrated In The Heat
• Drink plenty of water – at least 1.5 liters a day.
• Schedule your strenuous activity during the coolest time of day.
• Listen to your body, and discontinue exercise if early symptoms occur.

The following heat disorders require immediate attention;
• Heat Cramps – prolonged muscular pain due to heavy sweating and severe salt depletion.
• Heat exhaustion – feeling of dizziness, weakness, and feeling faint, occurs before heat stroke.
• Heat stroke – life-threatening condition where victim’s temperature-control system stops working.
