a recent burial. i think that's what we were going from 312 to us. i was walking back from the graveyard to the church. i got so out of breath that i have to stop because of course it's worrying you wonder what's next before this like again. me here in mosse is now being treated at the university of tribe books. medical center is doctor po, marie, specialist, diana starts the lease that heats on the effects of climate change making. his symptoms was temperature is over 30 degrees celsius and now more frequent in central europe. extreme heat leads to higher concentrations of ground level ozone and fine particulate matter. the poland season is growing longer and is more poland full that adds up to poor air quality. the combination of heat and pollutants can lead to inflammation and damage in the lungs. in the top with the leading directory association between higher temperatures and hospitalization and death
9:13 pm
rates out when the temperature is fine, degrees higher than average has been one. then we suddenly have 5 percent more patients. so that's it with palmer because of the medical center and then for the full, full sent me i was of course, an awful lot. going to ask him cool. in the clinic one does this not to does explain. c, a. michelle and moss, with his preexisting lung problems the whole day. is it becoming more and more of a problem? today? he's had to have his exiled outflow measured on 6 years. so you can see how restricted his breathing is. that's about 30 percent of the lungs, normal output them from the know molly capacity to it's funded and that's far below what it should be to avoid it. getting worse, michelle and mosque will have to avoid pollution as much as he can look like for the loss of develop to brings fresh. yeah. i've seen is they have to cope with
9:14 pm
smoke or other pollutants that can lead to inflammation. then come is by the higher the level of pollution was, it gets that so it is. but there is a level where i can say nothing will happen and how long. so if you breathe, it is, i know that why prevention protecting people physics dream leads important things which take suit particles were found in the priest loans. even though he has never smoked, they could also come from his wood burning stove, or from absolution exacerbated by the heat. he's now planning to exercise more to improve his lung capacity. exercises healthy. but what about when it's hot and sticky? when your heart and circulation are already under strain, that exercise gives them an additional work out. swimming is an obvious option, but don't dive in when you're hot or when you've just eaten. alcohol is also
9:15 pm
a no no. but even if there is no water close, you don't have to skip exercising completely. it's still pleasantly cooling this forest on this summer morning. the seniors running group trains that are often no matter what the temperature some of the stuff these competitive sports when they were over 40. but many have already gone far. 66 year old had to go like for example, this the gym and spring champion in her age group was 82 year old hot mood cream a. it's a sprint well champion in his but they take care of when it starts getting hot spots. so it's the only just spend schneider studies health and the impact of climate change. today he wants to show these athletes how to exercise health in the, in the heat 1st room. it's best to do it in the morning in the shade.
9:16 pm
some i'm in that way you avoid the midday heat and don't put unnecessary strain on your circulation today, and there's usually less of a sudden, pollution then in the afternoon you could run in the late evening too long and spin schneider has brought along a few items that make excising and the heat easier on kansas, i'm a you can prepare yourself by cooling down beforehand as well as during, during, during the session and afterwards. well, let's start with pre cooling. so i can see you can simply spray your arms a little. so your body is already a bit cool up before you start. i performed after cruise the revised quote and does i have to admit that i've never spray myself with water like that? it's pleasant underneath and because it's a relatively fine spray, you don't get too wet enough the season, you already know the full packs. you can put them on the back of the neck, knocking being an option for during or after the training session. but it's not
9:17 pm
something else i brought, that's increasingly being used by pros for these cooling, but just try them on. and you really notice the cooling effect is currently on the effects. the body cools itself to what's known as the regulation process control by the hypothalamus. it ensures that your body temperature ranges between 36 and 37.5 degrees celsius. if it threatens to rise the hypothalamus stop sending out chemical messages that die late, the blood vessels in the skin face increase the circulation. more heat is released to the environment. when blood vessels die late, blood pressure drops. as a result, the hawk has to composite to transport blood. at the same time we start switching fluids are released through the skin cooling as they of operate bodies. cooling mechanisms can lead to exhaustion. it's the for advisable to cool the pony before turing after exercise. you also remember to drink
9:18 pm
a lot. if your body is dehydrated, it can cause headaches, crumbs and dizziness. so it's important to drink before you will count one for the your ring and your installed. we always use more fluid, 3 sweat. then we can re absorbed by drinking, and you might lose 2 to 3 meters during your football match. and we can observe a maximum of one liter of liquid and the same periods. so you should consume cold drinks before an endurance run to occur. the good thing, the running group is all set on hot days. you shouldn't the aim to achieve top times because your body is less efficient due to the heat, the hot beats up to 20 times foster every minute and go stop. let's see. we now starting on strength exercises and we produce a heat during and you're in school. and 3 quarters of this like remains in the body is waste heat. and so it's only a quarter is converted into muscle strength phase,
9:19 pm
which is why we recommend reducing and you're in unit and increasing amounts of strength training when it taught us divide strength training in a cool gym is also good in the heat on hot days outside uv protection is also very important, so don't forget, you'll send screen protective clothing and headgear. put what can happen if you reset it yourself. for example, because you have to play a match in the afternoon. when you call body temperature rises above 30, a to reason 39 degrees, you start feeling well if your temperature goes even higher over 40 degrees, we call that heat stroke flock. to avoid the medical emergency, you should listen to your body and cooled down off direct size. for example, with dump towels. and just leave the senior run this be a well equipped to cope with a whole days ahead of to or even in an era climate change exercise remains
9:20 pm
a most what's the best thing to eat when it's hot? our digestive systems need more energy to process heavy fatty meals and that creates more heat. lighter meals are better fruit vegetables, salads, beans, lane, meat, or fish, or maybe lentils, eat smaller meals more frequently. at hot meals are best eaten lukewarm. try water miller and ju covers tomatoes, berries, and leafy green vegetables. they're a good source of electrolytes, fennel and broccoli, provide potassium fido for nerve and muscle function and many other things. experiment a bit and see what suits you. and for people on medication, it's important to remember that drugs can react differently in the heat.
