How Body Reacts to Heat

When we are in a very hot condition, we have so many risks of heatstroke. This case is often found in athletes and people who work in summer.

Heatstroke comes all of a sudden and uncontrolled rise in body temperature. It is a reaction of human body for not being able to replace fluid lost through respiration. If the lost fluids are not replaced, dehydration will occurs and leads to a decrease in blood.

The body must decide whether to give blood to the main organs or skin. The body tends to give it to the main organ because it is very important as a chain reaction, the body loses ability to sweat; therefore it cannot cool itself. The lack of blood and inability to produce sweat causes over heat.

If it keeps staying, it will cause permanent injury. It is one way to protect heat.
