Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling.
