I only hear one phrase: very hot weather; Not only here in the Gulf region where I live, known as their hot and wet weather during the fierce summer months, but in many other countries such as Lebanon and Syria known for the moderation of their climate, and even European countries that have reached the heat in some of them to nearly 40.

The current heat wave is the product of the “thermal dome” that the meteorological centers are talking about at the present time; It is an atmosphere in the upper atmosphere that leads to heating air and increasing the brightness of the sun, not to mention the high rates of common humidity during this season.

What does that mean? It means fatigue and fatigue, up to heat stress and even sunstroke, in the event that we do not notice the preventive measures that protect us from these problems and their serious complications. Do you know my dear that the sunstroke is more dangerous than thermal stress, and that it can lead, for example, to death?

For this; It is necessary to prepare to face the current heat wave, through simple steps, but effective; We get to know it in today’s article. But first, let’s shed light on the health repercussions of extreme heat and humidity.

What happens to your body in the case of the current heat wave?

To be known to you, my dear, that everyone, without exception, is subject to the effects of extreme heat in the event that no preventive and preventive measures are taken, and not only young children, patients or the elderly.

Also remember: The extreme heat is not just a summer inconvenience, but it can pose a real danger to your health, especially in light of extremist heat waves. Here is what happens to the body when the temperatures rise significantly:

1. Heat regulation: Your body strives to keep its normal temperature (about 37 °C) By expanding blood vessels and increasing sweating.

2. Increase the burden on the heart: This adaptation attempt puts additional pressure on the heart, which may lead to low blood pressure, fluid loss and salts from the body gradually.

3. Decreased mental performance: the temperature affects the concentration and cognitive functions and weakens it significantly.

4. Feeling of distress and discomfort: especially in the humid atmosphere that hinders sweating.

Some factors or stars can increase the intense heat of health on health; For example, obesity that makes the body keep more heat due to excess weight, some medications that limit the body’s ability to retain moisture such as heart medications and high blood pressure, the inability of some age groups such as breastfeeding and the elderly to regulate their bodies, and sudden temperature changes such as moving quickly from a cold climate to a warm climate and vice versa.

Not to mention the moisture that some of us even given the necessary attention, which unfortunately may have serious repercussions on the health of the heart and mind. how? Here’s the answer in the next paragraph ..

How is high humidity threatening the health of the heart?

High humidity is not just an annoying feeling of viscosity and heat, but rather has deep health effects that may be dangerous if it is not dealt with properly. The most prominent of these effects:

1. Direct physical effects

Drought: In wet atmosphere, it is difficult for the body to cool itself through sweating, which increases the risk of fluid loss.

• General fatigue and fatigue: A person feels lethargy and low energy as a result of the difficulty of evaporation of sweat and high body temperature.

Muscle spasms: due to the loss of salts and fluid from the body.

• Thermal exhaustion and fainting: The body temperature may reach dangerous levels, causing heat exhaustion or even a sunstroke.

2. Effects on the respiratory system

• Increase the symptoms of asthma andCOPDMoisture is encouraged to grow mold and bacteria, which irritates the lungs and increases coughing and whistling during breathing.

• Harmful gases are liberated: such as formaldehyde from building materials, which increases internal air pollution.

3. Heart and rotating effects

Increased risk of heart attacks: due to pressure on blood circulation and difficulty regulating body temperature.

For this point in particular, Dr. Sudair Al -Kandi, the cardiologist and medical director of the Health and Nature Center at Houston Methodist Hospital, spoke to Al Arabiya.net; Pointing out that high humidity hinders the body’s ability to cool, which increases the risk of heat stress, sunstroke, and respiratory diseases such as asthma and allergies, due to the provision of a fertile environment for the growth of mold, mites and dust, as mentioned above.

Pointing to linking recent studies between high humidity and increasing the numbers of people with cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks, heart systems disorders, and strokes. He added: “When moisture is associated with high temperatures, the body faces more difficulty in maintaining the balance of its internal temperature, which leads to double physiological stress.”

Al -Kandi explained to this strong relationship between moisture and heart disease, by saying that the sweating process, which is the body to regulate heat, becomes less effective in an atmosphere saturated with moisture; Where sweat does not evaporate easily, which leads to its accumulation on the skin and the increase in the feeling of fatigue and wife, and it may end with drought or even fainting in the absence of preventive precautions. It is very dangerous for those with chronic diseases in particular, Al -Kandi emphasizes; Moisture leads to the acceleration of heartbeat and high blood pressure, especially in those with chronic diseases or taking medications that affect fluid balance in the body.

Accordingly, all available preventive measures should be taken, to reduce the extreme free risks and humidity over the general people, on patients, the elderly and children in a specific way; Here are some of these measures from the specialists.

What are the preventive measures to reduce the complications of extreme heat wave?

Certainly, we cannot control climate, but take some simple precautions, according to experts; It can reduce the effects of moisture, and reduce the possibility of exposure to health complications that may be serious to death in some cases.

Dr. Al -Kandi is advised to follow the following measures, to reduce the complications of the severe heat wave as well as moisture, at the present time:

• Follow -up of weather and heat indicators before planning any external activity, especially with young people, patients and the elderly.

Drink enough water.

• Avoid caffeine and its derivatives as much as possible, as it increases the diuresis and lack of fluid in the body.

Wearing loose clothes made of frusible fabrics (it is preferable to be light color).

• Use sunscreen and be present in shade or places that are as possible.

• Avoid going out at the height of the day, especially for those who suffer from chronic diseases.

In the same context; The Faculty of Medicine at St. George University in Greenada provides 5 basic and practical advice that helps everyone face the summer heat and the current heat of the current, with the aim of maintaining health during this period of the year.

1. Stay in the inner places to avoid symptoms of heat stress: to prevent fatigue, nausea, headache, dizziness, and muscle spasms; They are common symptoms resulting from direct exposure to high air temperature. In the event of having to go out, it is important to drink water regularly, and moisturize your skin with cold water to help lower body temperature.

2. Drinking water regularly: One of the basic factors to maintain the balance of the body during the summer, especially when exposed to high temperatures. Water helps to compensate for lost fluids as a result of sweating, and recommends eating between 8-12 cups of water per day to maintain vital focus and functions. You can enhance the flavor of water by adding lemon slices or fresh fruits as a healthy and refreshing option, if you do not like the taste of water on its own.

3. Eating a lot of fruits and vegetables: Eating foods that reduce heat such as watermelon, option, orange, and berries moisturize the body and a feeling of refreshment, because it contains necessary vitamins and minerals. Leafy vegetables such as spinach, cabbage and lettuce are also among the options rich in beneficial nutrients, which help support public health during the temperatures.

4. Organizing physical exercises in advance: High temperatures may increase pressure on the heart and muscles during physical activity; Therefore, it is preferable to do exercises in the most moderate times of the day, such as early morning hours or after sunset. It is also recommended to wear light clothes and a light color that allows the passage of air, avoiding hard exercises in very hot climates. External exercises can also be replaced by alternative activities such as swimming, yoga in closed places, or strength exercises in air -conditioned gyms.

5. Taking into account public health when planning summer trips: When traveling, it is important to see in advance the weather conditions in the intended destination, and prepare requirements that are appropriate to the climatic conditions. It is recommended to take light clothes that allow the body to be ventilated, as well as necessary tools such as a bottle of reusable water, a sunscreen to protect the skin from UV rays, and the basic mineral compensation tablets to help with it and maintain activity during the trip.

The bottom line; The extreme heat wave and humidity that we are witnessing at the present time can be crossed in peace and without serious complications by adjusting some daily habits in our lives. Simple steps such as drinking water regularly, avoiding excessive exposure to the sun, and paying attention to physical indicators, can make a big difference in the quality of life during the summer.
