We are having high temperatures throughout the length and breadth of the peninsula. Heat waves come and go, although these last few weeks have not completely gone away. So sometimes we can experience a series of symptoms without knowing very well where they come from. Well, perhaps it is the consequence of that intense heat that affects the body, and a lot.
In case you didn't know, there are many more the effects that we can feel, in addition to the basic or common ones. Hence, it is worth reviewing all of them. It does not hurt to know them all, because it is true that in some cases high temperatures can cause quite serious problems. You did not know?
High temperatures influence our reasoning and memory
Perhaps it was not something you knew, but we should discuss it. Because when the temperatures are very high, yes we can see how the central nervous system is slowing down. His rhythm is not the same as always and that is why we have to talk about other problems around him. Already with a temperature of around 40 degrees, the brain begins to function in a different way. Making our memory look a bit confused, that we even have more oversights and of course, that the reasoning is not the same either. Because the ability to react will not be at high temperatures either.
The brain is the most susceptible organ
Without a doubt, when we are very hot, one of the first areas to be affected will be the brain. As we have mentioned, its responsiveness will be less. Hence, at the same time, another series of symptoms that we will now see are also being noticed. It seems that the neurons will have some changes when we are involved in a place where they exceed 40º. So, it is important that we reduce the temperature as soon as possible, so that our body continues to function normally. Otherwise, in some very serious cases, it could permanently damage the brain.
Respiratory and cardiovascular diseases worsen
Heat is also not a good thing for people who have certain diseases such as cardiovascular or, respiratory. Since high temperatures are going to make these chronic diseases even more complicated. Although it is also true that they are not the only ones, but rather all kinds of pathologies that we already have, they will be intensified during the hottest days. Hence, precautions must always be taken.
more leg pain
In this case it can also be related to the above. Because leg problems, both at the circulatory level and varicose veins or even heaviness, will be more present when temperatures rise. The veins dilate much more, something that also happens in humid climates. So if you notice how your extremities look more swollen this season, you already know that it may be due to the temperatures. Although a check-up with your trusted doctor does not hurt.
Insomnia problems
It is something that goes hand in hand with high temperatures. Because when it's very hot, it's almost impossible to close your eyes when night falls. We can already be really tired, which is not always easy. So it should also be mentioned that This causes us collateral damage.. Since it is known that by not being able to sleep or rest well, we can feel more tired, with less humor and more irritable. So, the best thing is that before going to sleep you can refresh the room a bit, take a shower or drink something cool.
Tiredness symptom of high temperatures
As we already know that heat strokes are one of the most important effects of heat, we are left with another that we must also take into account. Tiredness will become part of our day to day. Sometimes it is accompanied by dizziness or headaches. Hence, we must always be well hydrated, avoid the central hours of the day to go out and try to eat foods rich in water.
