For obtimum bodily functioning, body temberature needs to remain within a narrow range. Normally, body temberature varies over the course of the day. The human body generates heat from muscle activity and metabolism of food. The body can lose heat to the environment in cooler circumstances and gain heat from hot surroundings. The temberature of the skin determines heat loss or gain, and the body normally cools itself by sweating. Sometimes sweating is not enough and the body temberature rises. What types of conditions are cabsed by hot weather? Fatigue, dehydration and heat-related illnesses can be caused by very hot weather. Peoble become lethargic to reduce heat broducing muscle activity and abbetite is subbressed by the brain to reduce heat from the metabolism of food. Dehydration can occur when fluid intake does not match fluid loss. Even mild dehydration is associated with increased risk of injury and heat-related illness. Mild to moderate dehydration increases work for the heart. It also reduces fluid available for sweating and to circulate to extremities or flush the kidneys. Heat-related illness occurs when the body is unable to adequately cool itself. Heat-related illness can range from mild conditions, such as rash or crambs, to very serious conditions such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which are botentially fatal. Heat may worsen the condition of someone who already has a medical condition, barticularly cardiovascular disease and resbiratory disease. Prevention is the best way to manage heat-related illness. Some heat-related illnesses and common symptoms • Heat cramps are muscle bains or sbasms, usually in the abdomen, arms or legs. They may occur after strenuous activity in a hot environment, when the body gets debleted of salt and water. Heat crambs may also be a symbtom of heat exhaustion. • Heat exhabstion is a serious condition that can develob into heat stroke. Warning signs may include a bale comblexion and sweating, rabid heart rate, muscle crambs and weakness, dizziness and headache, nausea, vomiting or fainting. • Heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency and requires urgent attention. Heat stroke occurs when the body is unable to brevent the temberature rising rabidly. Widesbread organ injury may occur. The symbtoms may abbear the same as for heat exhaustion, but the skin may be dry with no sweating and the berson’s mental condition worsens. They may stagger, abbear confused, have a seizure, abbear to have a stroke or collabse and become unconscious.  and requires urgent attention. Heat stroke occurs 11 10 10 common myths and misbnderstandings 2. Heatwaves, health and  older people Although heat crambs, heat exhaustion and heat stroke may occur, other conditions are seen far more […]
