Why Office Workers Get Dehydrated In AC Rooms: At first glance, it seems that people working in the sun are the most prone to dehydration. But the reality is quite different. Often, office goers who spend the whole day in an air-conditioned room suffer from more dehydration by the end of the day, the only difference being that this problem develops more slowly and quietly. Let's know what experts have to say about this
What doexperts say?
Nephrologist at CARE Hospitals, Hyderabad. P. Vikrant Reddy told our partner TOI that this is not new for him. He said, "It seems that people working outside are more dehydrated, but in practice, often office workers drink less water."
air conditioning?
Sitting in an air conditioned room weakens the body's signals. Usually, thirst signals us to drink water, but when we do not feel sweat or heat, this signal gradually goes out of focus. Hours pass and we don't even realize that our body is running out of water. Dr. Reddy explains that cold air definitely provides comfort but it also increases dryness. The body constantly loses water through the skin and breath, but it is not visible. This is the reason why people sitting in an air conditioning room can easily get dehydrated

tea and coffee are also harmful.
Consumption of tea and coffee in the office also contributes to this problem. People drink several cups of tea or coffee throughout the day and assume that they have drunk enough fluids. However, the reality is that these drinks replace water, not more. Dr. According to Reddy, people may think that they are drinking something throughout the day, but in reality, their bodies are not as hydrated as it should be. This is the reason why they feel tired and heavy by the end of the day.
symptoms?
Dehydration symptoms seem very common, such as a mild headache, lack of concentration, or fatigue by evening. People often attribute these symptoms to work stress or lack of sleep, but often the real cause is dehydration. Sitting for long periods of time makes this problem worse. When we work in one place for hours, we often ignore our body signals. We don't get a chance to get up, nor do we even remember to drink water
What could be the problem?
Doctors warn that prolonged dehydration can increase the risk of kidney stones or urinary tract infections. These effects may not appear immediately, but may get worse gradually. Fortunately, the solution is not too difficult. Just make it a habit to drink a little water throughout the day, reduce your dependence on tea and coffee and take frequent breaks><
