Large portions of children arrive to school in a dehydrated state. [10] If one does not drink enough water, dehydration may occur. An easy way one could lose water is by sweating. Symptoms of mild dehydration can include thirst, dry mouth and throat, rapid pulse, weakness, and reduced amount of urine. Some indications that one has severe dehydration are pale skin, rapid shallow breathing, seizures, coma, and a weak irregular pulse.[7][3] A dark urine color is an indicator that you are not drinking enough fluids. Dehydration can result in decreased mental and physical performance. [3][8][10] Water consumption can help cognitive performance. Reaction times are faster on the occasion on which one drinks water. Subjective thirst moderates the effect of water consumption on ones speed of responding. Drinking water has a positive influence on performance. [10]
