How does hot weather affect?

The body's temperature works best at 36-37.5 degrees Celsius and escapes heat by sweating. When the environment is too hot or too moist, the body sweats, increasing the risk of dehydration.

If the temperature is too high, the body will try to cool it, losing a large amount of water leading to exhaustion or heatstroke. If not timely compensated, it will result in reduced circulation volume causing cardiovascular collapse, severe electrolyte disorders that can lead to death.

According to the researchers, when the temperature rises to 35 degrees Celsius and high humidity starts to threaten human health , it is more dangerous to reach 40 degrees Celsius. Temperatures up to 50 degrees Celsius will become termites. scary threat.

However, the impact of temperature on the body also depends on the health and health of each person. Infants, young children, the elderly and people with respiratory illnesses will be most affected when the temperature changes.
