Answer to Question 1

Dehydration is a state in which the body contains too little water due to too much water being lost, too little being consumed, or a combination of both. Overhydration is a state resulting from drinking too much fluid, which dilutes the blood and causes a severely low concentration of sodium. In response to hyponatremia, water then enters tissues via osmosis, producing swelling. If swelling occurs in the brain, the person can experience symptoms similar to those of dehydration: fatigue, confusion, and disorientation.

Answer to Question 2

Major minerals are needed in quantities greater than 100 milligrams per day, whereas trace minerals are needed in amounts of less than 15 milligrams per day.
