The Academy and researcher in molecular medicine, and a member of the Friends of Health Association, said Dr. Rabab Abdel Wahab, the human body interacts deeply with the succession of the seasons of the year, explaining that the external environment is not alone that changes with the solutions of a new chapter, but our bodies are also affected by these quarterly transformations, as the body interacts with each chapter, and adapts to its climatic changes.
Dr. Rabab Abdel Wahab that the body with the advent of the summer begins to deal through self -cooling mechanisms to maintain its internal temperature, indicating that one of the most prominent of these mechanisms is sweating and the expansion of blood vessels in the skin and the waste of heat across the skin. She explained that the sweat glands produce sweat in response to the high body temperature, and the sweat cools the body and protects it from the high temperature surrounding it, while the blood vessels are expanding close to the surface Skin; Which allows to waste more heat, and for this the skin may look red when the temperature rises.
She pointed out that the body also works to transfer heat from its center to the ends where it is easier to cool, but the body may be exposed to a set of fluctuations during the summer, as the mechanisms of regulating heat may fail in dealing with the heat coming from the surrounding environment, which leads to an increase in body temperature.
And she showed that high temperatures may cause uncomfortable symptoms such as muscle cramps, as it leads to the body’s loss of fluids and energy, which exposes it to fatigue and fatigue such as dizziness, cramps and acceleration of the heartbeat.
She emphasized that the summer climate contributes to losing large amounts of water through sweating in order to reduce heat, which may lead to dry body and multiple health problems, pointing out that the rates of happiness hormone (serotonin) increases in the summer as a result of increased sun exposure, and sunlight stimulates the production of melatonin at night, which enhances the quality of sleep, and the pituitary hormones reach the highest levels of late summer.
And I advised Dr. Rabab Abdel Wahab should follow some behaviors to adapt to the summer atmosphere and maintain the cold body, including drinking a lot of water to maintain the moisture of the body and support its vital functions and reduce dehydration, wear light and loose clothes to improve the evaporation of sweat and cool the body, and avoid direct exposure to sunlight and spend time in shade during peak hours.
She added that it is also important to use sunscreen to protect the skin from burns, and eat foods rich in water such as fruits and vegetables to support the moisture of the body, as well as bathing in cold water to cool the body and reduce the feeling of heat, and avoid hard physical exertion during peak times, while exercising in the early morning or evening.
She certainly concluded the importance of avoiding sugary and caffeine drinks because it increases fluid loss and causes dehydration, noting that following these precautions and correct habits allow everyone to enjoy summer months while maintaining the body cold, humid and healthy.
