BY Mamie Doris 2018-07-01When you catch a cold, the body fights the virus through a fever. This process causes a large amount of water to be lost from the body and also removes electrolyte components such as sodium and potassium. At this time, if only a large amount of pure water is added, the electrolyte elements such as sodium and potassium will be diluted. When the sodium concentration in the body drops too much, people will experience symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue and confusion. At this time, the brain will automatically send a signal to discharge excess water in the body through urine, sweat, etc. to achieve the balance of the body's electrolytic concentration. This is what is called "spontaneous dehydration" in medicine.5
