Expert "Small children dehydrated with a little sweat"

Experts point out that younger children are more likely to be in danger if left unhydrated.

Professor Akimasa Hirata of Nagoya Institute of Technology, who is familiar with heat stroke, said, "It is said that dehydration occurs when 3% to 4% of the water content in the body is lost. It becomes a state close to dehydration. Children with small bodies need diligent hydration because a slight loss of water such as sweating can lead to dehydration and heat stroke. Not limited to heat stroke. There is a risk of leaving the child indoors for a long time. "
