health nerds – Der Podcast über artgerechtes Leben
What happens when our body is confronted with high temperatures?
After our episodes about ice baths and cold stimuli, this time we focus on the opposite: the effects of heat and warmth on our organism. The ability of humans to adapt to temperature fluctuations has been greatly reduced by our modern, evenly tempered living environment,"" explains Matthias Baum from the HEALTH NERDS science team. But it is precisely this adaptability that is essential - especially when it comes to extreme heat:
„We humans have the unique ability to sweat systemically - everywhere on the body. The amount of fluid that our body can use for thermoregulation is almost unparalleled in the animal kingdom.“ This evolutionary characteristic plays a central role in our health, our immune system and our well-being. Without it, our survival would be jeopardized in the event of major temperature fluctuations: „If our body loses its ability to adapt, this massively impairs the function of our organs – our organism would not survive that ürde.“
How do we recognize that our body is losing its temperature flexibility? How can we specifically train our ability to adapt? And how much heat is good for us before it becomes a real strain on our organism?
