The test for dehydration is pinching the skin and letting it go. If it stays up, like a tent, you are likely dehydrated. The best testing spot is on the back of the arm above the wrist.
Pressing the skin tests for 2 things: return of color for how well blood flows into the area; and for "pitting edema" when the skin stays pressed in when there is swelling. Skin naturally "turns white" when pressed but returns to pink (or red if pressed too hard) within seconds of being released. "Pitting edema" is assessed on a scale of 1 to 3 and is based on how fast the skin spings back up in an area with obvious swelling. The edema test is typically done on the ankles, lower legs, and tops of feet since this is where most swelling occurs. True pitting edema only occurs in persons with kidney or heart ailments or impaired circulation to the lower extremities.

Why does bleach turns dark when using it to disinfect items?
Briefly: Bleach is generally white therefore when used on something 'dirty' all the dirt and germs are an invisible white or transparent colour. When the white bleach is mixed with the black dirt (in most cases) then the colour of the bleach turns black because the dirt mixes with white. If you mix black paint with white it turns black or grey because dark overpowers white. hope this helps your random curiosity :)

What does white bread turn into when it enters your body?
White bread is mainly the carbohydrate starch. When starch enters the body it is digested by enzymes. It is firstly broken down by amylase which turns the starch into maltose (note: if you hold bread in your mouth for a while it goes sweet). The maltose is broken down by maltase into glucose which can then be used for respiration but if it isn't then it turns to fat.
