According to a recent study by the University of Ottawa Human and Environmental Physiology Research Unit (Hepru), our body starts having problems only when there is a temperature of more than 37 degrees and it comes into action. So far, it was believed that a person tolerates 40-42 ° C, but it is not so. If there is moisture i.e. humidity in the atmosphere, then it can be more dangerous.
According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), this year the number of heatwave (heat) in the North-West states of the country may double. Usually, 5-6 consecutive days of heat are run in the months of April to June, but this time many such rounds of 10 to 12 days can come. Meteorologists say that if the number of heatwave days doubled, then 2025 would be the hottest year till date.
so today ‘Sehthanama‘I will know how much temperature a person can tolerate? Will also know that-
- What is web bulb temperature?
- What are the changes in the body when the temperature increases?
- What to do to prevent this?
How much temperature can a person bear?
Our body can tolerate heat only to a particular extent i.e. up to 37 degrees Celsius. If the temperature rises slightly from this, the body sweats to cool itself. All this depends on the thermoregulation of our body i.e. the temperature control system.
What happens when there is more than 37 ° C temperature?
Dr. Sunil Rana says that everything is fine up to 37 degrees Celsius. After this, the body starts having problems. For this, the body can cool itself with sweat for some time. The situation can be dangerous if the temperature begins to cross 42 degrees. Understand graphic-
Understand all the points in the graphic in detail-
37°C – 38°C- Usually everything is normal, but the body temperature starts sweating when it rises slightly. Light tiredness and weakness may be felt.
38°C – 40°C- Sweating starts increasing, but if there is more moisture in the air, the sweat is not evaporated. This can increase body temperature further. In this, a person may have problems with dizziness, headache and tiredness.
40°C – 42°C- The temperature control system of the body comes under pressure. Sweating starts decreasing and body temperature may increase. The risk of heat stroke increases, which can also reduce body parts to function. If body temperature is not normal, it can be dangerous.
42°C – 45°C- This situation is critical. If the body temperature rises to this extent, the organ can stop working. If there is no immediate treatment in this situation, then this life can be threated.
More than 45 ° C- When the body temperature goes above 45 ° C, it can act like poison for the body. Liver, kidney and many organs can stop working. If there is no immediate treatment, stroke or death can occur.
High temperature is more dangerous if there is moisture in the air
Sweating is an important way to keep body temperature normal. When the body’s temperature increases, sweating comes out and when it evaporates the body cools down.
What happens when there is moisture in the air?
- Moisture means that if there is already water in the air, then this water does not allow sweat to dry properly.
- If the sweat is not drying, then the temperature of the body will not reduce and its sweat trick will not work. This is called weight bulb temperature.
What is weight bulb temperature?
If more humidity is combined with more temperature, then conditions like weight bulb are formed. If the thermometer wet and note the temperature, then it is called a weight bulb temperature.
What to do to avoid heatwave?
If you want to avoid heatwave, first keep the body hydrated. Drink plenty of water for this, follow all these tips-
Keep drinking plenty of water
Dehydration can occur if sweat comes out in summer. So keep drinking water throughout the day. Coconut water or ORS solution can also be drunk. This causes the lack of both water and minerals in the body.
Stay in cold place
If there is a lot of heat outside, then stay in a cold place inside the house as much as possible. Use AC or cooler. If it is not available, use the fan and spend more time in a cold place.
Wear light and loose clothes
Wear light colored and loose clothes in summer. Clothes should be such that the air continues to pass. It is better to wear cotton clothes. This helps the body to maintain temperature.
Avoid going in the sun
Avoid going out in the sun. Especially from 11 am to 2-3 in the afternoon, the rays of the sun are the most intense. If you have to go out, wear glasses and hats and stay in the shade.
Take bath with cold water
Take a bath with cold water to get relief from the heat. This reduces the temperature of the body and feels cool. In case of excessive heat, clean wet clothes can also be wrapped on your body.
Avoid going to humidity area
Where moisture is high, there is a problem in drying the body’s sweat. So use air conditioning and fan so that the air moisture is reduced.
Do not eat heavy food
Avoid eating heavy food or fried food in summer, as it can increase the body heat. Eat light food, eat fruits rich in cold and water like cucumber, cucumber and salad.
Learn symptoms of heat stroke
It is necessary to identify the symptoms of heat stroke to avoid heatwave and heat:
- Not sweating even when it is very hot
- Dizziness
- Feel a lot of weakness or tiredness
- High fever
If these symptoms are feeling, then immediately go to the cold place, drink water and consult a doctor.
