Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling.
