The heat is the great protagonist of this summer. The ways of coping with the heat are very diverse. In addition, the heat manifests itself differently depending on whether it is coastal or inland. The presence of the sea is a true regulator of temperature. That is why their differences are more homogeneous when it comes from coastal cities.
Keep in mind that the effects of heat also vary depending on the type of sea. Since in our peninsula, the temperatures of the Mediterranean Sea are higher than those of the Cantabrian Sea, for example. On the other hand, in inland cities a drier heat is observed, and with higher temperatures. The differences between the winter and summer temperatures are more abrupt in inland areas than on the coast.
It is important to point out these differences in which the heat manifests depending on whether it is a coastal or inland area, because the way to combat it is different. Even its effects are also, causing different symptoms in people depending on whether the heat is more humid or dry. Since muscle pain, and bone diseases, such as arthritis, are closely linked to the weather.
Heat and humidity affect diseases such as arthritis
Those skilled in the art describe that both dry and moist heat can relieve intramuscular and bone pain, but their effects are different. Moist heat causes pain to decrease more immediately, however, dry heat is recommended with long-term palliative results.
The lack of moisture derived from dry heat can dehydrate the skin. Therefore, it is very important to stay hydrated, which is why it is recommended to drink large amounts of liquid, especially in dry climates, where the possibility of dehydration is more attenuated than in humid climates.
In coastal cities, baths are an important source for relieving intramuscular and bone pain. Relaxing the tension of the same, as a result of the pain. It should be noted that when the pains come from bruises or bruises, cold water is convenient, while if the pains are derived from arthritis or other bone diseases, it is recommended to avoid humid climates.
However, for people suffering from rheumatoid diseases, heat is also beneficial. Because it causes wearing lighter clothes, the use of air conditioners, and other measures that reduce moisture in the body. On the contrary, when it is cold, it is very important to take into account the degree of humidity in the air, since it is absorbed by the open pores of people’s sweat glands, and the use of humidity barriers is recommended. such as clothing and home protection.
Excessive heat conditions aspects such as attitude, health, even habits
Other consequences of heat is that it causes sweating and causes blood vessels to dilate. This leads to increased blood flow and sweating. It is a reaction of our body to maintain the proper thermal sensation. Through sweating, the body is cooled, through the evaporation of heat by the skin. In cases of humid heat, it is more difficult to combat high temperatures, as well as the effect of heat. Since the body cannot cool itself efficiently, suffering the heat with greater intensity. That is why it is recommended, in these cases, the consumption of liquids to avoid dehydration.
Just as the wind is an ally to combat the heat. That is why the permanence of the Atlantic or Cantabrian winds on the coast, bring very specific effects when it comes to coping with the heat. What causes the wind speed to have a palliative effect on excessive heat, helping to combat it and reducing the feeling of fatigue and heaviness induced by it.
To conclude, I accompany a series of general tips, ideal for beating the heat:
- Hydration: consumption of liquids and refreshing beverages, to maintain the thermal sensation of the body. It is important to avoid drinks with sugar that make you even more thirsty.
- Wear comfortable and light clothing: that is, use light fabrics that reinforce the feeling of relaxation and avoid sweating.
- Take baths: both on the beach, like the pool, or even at home. Cooling the body temperature.
- Leave at appropriate times. Adapt the schedule to walks, or play sports on the fringes where the heat is not so hot.
- Use fans or air conditioning. Helps to stay away from the heat of the streets.
