The problems connected with deficit of water can overtake also the healthiest person if he, for example, spends several hours under the scorching sun, without having taken with themselves drink, but is very simple to correct health in this case. It is much more difficult to minimize effects of other reasons of dehydration, the most frequent of which we will consider in this article.

1. Diabetes

At failure of digestion of sugars concentration of glucose in blood becomes too high. The organism tries to normalize its quantity, increasing allocation with urine. The patient who is constantly thirsting strenuously absorbs liquid, than activates this process even more. Unreasonable load of kidneys is created. The body cells deprived of necessary amount of liquid begin to take away it from a blood-groove that causes further "zasakharivaniye" and solidification of blood. There is a so-called vicious circle of dehydration which is fraught with the most sad effects, up to bystry death of the patient.
