With a level three health warning for most of the country due to the current heatwave (and it is going to get hotter next week) there are plenty of warnings out there about how to stay safe!
This article on the BBC website HERE - states the following:-
Hot weather poses a real danger to health.
The very elderly and the seriously ill are most at risk but
people at the peak of physical fitness can still succumb, particularly
if they are under extreme physical exertion.
The main threat is dehydration - as we overheat we can soon lose more fluid than we take in.
The body can no longer cool itself and our core temperature, which should be a stable 37C, rises.
At 40C the cells inside the body begin to break down and the body starts to malfunction.
It even stops being able to sweat, leading to more overheating.
The heart rate and breathing rate speed up and the person may fit, hallucinate or become unconscious.
Heatstroke is a medical emergency that needs urgent treatment.
Stay safe everyone, stay cool & drink plenty of water!
