experienced a record breaking heat wave wet temperatures reached 50 degrees celsius. global climate change is also increasing u v. levels. how to sunlight and heat affect our bodies. and how can we protect ourselves? welcome to in good shape. ah ah, bodies standard equipment is pretty amazing. it has 656 motors controlling a wide range of movements as well as sound oda, and light sensitive senses, and a relatively powerful computer. it also comes with a pretty impressive air conditioning system at no extra cost. the temperature of our internal organs normally fluctuates by little mole, one degrees celsius,

even in hot or cold conditions. every muscle movement generates heat and our body takes advantage of that fact to warm up when it's cold. shivering means the body's heating system is kicking in. in addition, the blood vessels of the skin constrict so that less heat is lost into the air. many people feel most comfortable at temperatures around 20 degrees celsius class because the heat, the body produces at rest is enough. it doesn't need to do anything to heat up or cool down at higher outside temperatures, the heat transfer with the environment stops working so well. instead, another cooling system in the body is activated sweat beads come out of the pause to moisten the skin. as they evaporate, they use heat energy in the process which cools down the skin. if our internal

temperature rises, the body tries to transport the heat to the surface as quickly as possible. the heart starts pumping faster. at the same time, the body loses fluid, the blood volume decreases and the brain is not supplied properly. that leads to a headache and dizziness. if the air around us is not just hot but also very humid, a count absorb as much moisture. then even heavy sweating provides little cooling. the bodies, air conditioning system can soon get overloaded. if the temperature of our internal organs rises above 40 degrees celsius, it can, in the worst case scenario, lead to life threatening heat stroke. that's why it's so important to seek out cool and shady places at the 1st signs of overheating. be sure to avoid

physical exertion and of course drink plenty of water. the body's air conditioning system allows us to live in very different climatic conditions. but in some cases, more extreme temperatures on our planet are pushing it to the limits. now for a few tips to avoid heat stroke in the 1st place, try to arrange as many activities during the cooler parts of the day avoid going out in the mid day heat. if that's not possible, where are hot and beams without air conditioning keep the air circulating. for example, with a farm applying damp clocked to your hands and face or having foot baths with cool rather than cold water can be refreshing. stay in contact with people living alone, especially if they're elderly, to make sure they're ok. finally,

it's very important to stay properly hydrated when it's hot. let's take a closer look at that. how much should we drink? the amount we need to drink berry the lot. depending on how active we are, the rule of thumb is $30.00 to $40.00 milliliters per kilo of body weight a day. and our guns can only absorb a certain amount of water per hour. so stalking up in advance doesn't work. even when it's cool, our bodies need a regular intake of water, having a glass of water on your desk and help says muscle. shoreline is about, you know, how much water we need varies according to age and older people might not need as much as one leader could be enough, including all drinks. but when it's hot or when we're working, we sweat more. all right, if we're outside, we need a lot more people working outside the building, roads or gardening. hot weather can require 3 or 4 liters because they're sweating

so much. i few little and also like us will fits children often forget to drink when they're playing. sometimes elderly people have to be reminded to why is drinking so important? our bodies relief water in berry, if wave, including virus, skin, and breath, people lose about 2 and a half liters of water a day. that way. that's why it's important to replenish those supplies regularly. if you forget to drink, you can remind yourself by setting an alarm, waiting until you feel thirsty means you're probably not drinking enough for our blood is 90 percent water. if we lack water, our blood starts to thicken, and the heart has to work harder. our kidneys need water to flush out toxins and keep our blood clean. if we drink too little, our brains found the alarm. when it's finished thinking,

if we don't drink enough and if we get overheated when we get a headache, we feel nauseous. sometimes we have to vomit, and we can't even get confused yet, and our temperature can keep rising and he can buy it can become very serious. so fulfill. what should we drink? who soft drinks are not good for flaking on thursday, because they often are packed with sugar and calories. nor is alcohol because it d i drains the body. as an alternative to pure water, you could mix one parties to 3 parts water. what does it contains? minerals is especially good, much him in the house on mineral waters are especially low and sodium. that's why we don't want that when it's hot. we want all the minerals in hub citrus fruit herbs like mentor ginger can be used to pep up later while still avoiding sugar.

ah, lukewarm drinks are best including some types of t. we 1st of to heat cold drinks up to body temperature and that makes us sweat even more. so what can we conclude when it's hot? you need to drink a lot, even if you don't feel thirsty fruits and vegetables that contain a lot of water can also help to replenish the bodies. reserves to little water can be dangerous. being exposed to extreme temperatures. nonstop is physically stressful, but not every kind of heat is problematic. in the far north of europe and finland, people know the benefit of short blasts of heat in the sauna. going to the solar can be very good for you, and not just in winter, as long as you heat certain advice. the traditional finish sauna usually ranges between $75.11 degrees celsius and temperature. during

w dot com slash in good shape. the deadline for submission is august 12th. climate change doesn't just cause extreme heat. it will so increases our exposure to ultraviolet light. pure clouds means more exposure to sunlight and more days with high a u. v levels. the abs ozone layer, which at least partially shields us from uv radiation is very thin and places. and those depleted areas allow 3 more rays. that means our skin is particularly vulnerable. how can we best protected admittedly, this might be a bit over the top, but the w h joe says skin cancer cases have rocketed in recent years. priscilla, noma, a new study indicates that by 2040, the numbers could rise probably by almost 50 percent. it's time to take sun

protection seriously. the sun's uv rays damaged the dna inside skin cells. it's the main cause of skin, cancer and skin ages. let's answer the most important questions about sun protection and health does only fair skin the sun protection. the truth is that everybody should be wearing some st. christopher munich, professor of dermatology, at yale school of medicine, and an expert on sunscreens. one of the things that i like telling my patience is that the skin remembers all the sun it ever seats. and if you think about it that way, the sun you get as a child at sun, as you get you get as a teenager, the sun, you get as a young adult and then an older adult. all of that. humans of sun exposure matters when it comes to wrinkles, aging pigmentation change, the skin and risk of skin. cancer dermatologists therefore recommend using sun protection daily, at least on uncovered skin areas such as the face and hands. of i tell all my

patients to use it all year round, even when the sun is in tile tow. done yellow rebate, home grin is a dermatologist from posts about skin care on instagram. it might me say them in my comparison is when i drive to minutes, my car to buy bread at the bakery. do i have to use the seat belt, even though it's just 2 minutes before i get those? 0, one more time, you always have to protect yourself, no matter what length of journey. it's the same with some protection, a son of sorts. it's got uv. radiation also damages, darker skin, and can cause skin cancer. although it's been scientifically proven that uv radiation increases the risk of cancer in fair skin to people. the link is less clear, cut for people with dark skin, where genetic factors could play a greater role. is sunscreen, unhealthy?

well, there are always reports that sunscreens contain harmful substances. how true is that? first of all, there are 2 types of sunscreens. those with chemical filters and those with mineral filters. chemical filters form of film on the skin that absorbs uv, radiation converts it into heat, and then releases it into the environment. mineral filters contains small particles that reflect uv rays, thereby protecting the skin. but these particles in the mineral filters leave a visibly white film on the skin. so let me see if i look hold on for young children, for example, i recommend mineral sunscreen because i can keep better check on my children. if i see that covered in white, for example, when they complete the safe, mental sunscreen is also better tolerated if you have contact allergies. it is a hot bath, mule u. v. filters are listed in the ingredients as zinc oxide or titanium oxide,

in chemical sunscreens. a frequently used u. v filter is octo cry lien. the substance has been controversial since a study from 2021. so the idea is that there is some research that shows that octo cry lee can break down over time into something called benzo, but no and bins of for known has been shown to be a low level carcinogen as well. meaning it can cause cancer and certain situations as well as it can disrupt that indifferent system, meaning that it yet can mess with kind of hormones in the body. this chemical conversion happens when sunscreen containing octo cry lien gets warm or old. so it's better not to use last years, and you expert committee still considers cosmetics containing after kylene to be safe. not every one is convinced,

i think that there is enough data out there to raise the concern. and so that's why i tell patients, look in the future. may it be proven that dr. climbing based on springs or say yes him might be. but right now there are some questions in the science, isn't there yet? so maybe take some precaution and just stay away from dr. crying by sunscreen, but not all chemical uv filters are harmful, completely avoiding sunscreens for fear of certain substances is the worst thing you could do. some protection is better than no protection. so regardless of what the products out there is, not enough evidence linking any of these problems, saying that a 100 percent they caused this. but we do know that sun burns will lead to skin cancer. so that part's proven, so how much sunscreen is enough. sunscreen only protects you if you use enough of it. the rule of thumb is 2 milligrams per square centimeter of skin. it's

relatively easy to measure with a teaspoon. you should use that much on your face alone. your entire body needs just under 60 spoons of sunscreen. experts recommend a sun protection factor of at least 50. the most important thing is remembering to reapply. i think that what happens to most people, especially if they're swimming or they're united feature, a pool. they forget to reapply, i tell patients what every 2 hours need to be re apply. so you should get through 100 milliliters during a day and the sun. still sunscreen alone, can't fully protect you. so. so nika, leyden, avoid the sun, lie in the sun, enjoy the sun waving a sun, hunt and always fit in the shade. don't let the children play in the blazing sun is not valid or not even lawful. and by the way, there's no such thing as healthy channing. every time you gave it a tear,

not just a sunburn, but tanning that is a reaction of the skin to excessive sun. sunscreen also helps white wrinkles and aged spots. it prevents what no anti aging cream can undo. so remember using of sunscreen and reapplied every 2 hours disposed of sun's green after 6 months and avoid direct sunlight if possible with and if he wants to know exactly how high the u. v levels are in your area, there were apps that will tell you the u. v. index. the w h o has just released its own up the covers all regions of the world. it gives advice to but strange as it sounds, uv radiation can also be beneficial to our health in certain cases. in fact,

doctors can even use it as a skin treatment. yeah, the dosage is what makes something dangerous or not if that goes for u. v. a and u. v. b radiation, 2 of them have a police go, is a doctor and medical technologist together with an assistant. he's recording data at a waterfall in southern germany. the scientists are interested in how the environment including using radiation influences human health vis in here we can see the proportion of visible radiation well here. but also uva and u, v. b radiation that's very important just as uva and you will be ready asian can affect our health enough. ultraviolet light is not visible to the human eye. uv radiation is potentially carcinogenic. it can also trigger conjunctive vitus or curate titus. and inflammation of the cornea. but it does have some ponds. quality

is on it feed, the sun forms vitamin d in our skin using uv be radiation. this is cassandra vista, vitamin d is particularly important trout calcium levels, and calcium is vital for bone health. as highs will to avoid osteoporosis, we need enough vitamin d in her and our bodies make that if we go out in the sun on the san l flight, you be radiation is also used to treat dermatological problems. like psoriasis plows long i have been suffering from this chronic inflammatory skin condition for 15 years. it can be very itchy, as her food and that some cuts it makes you want to scratch the legions to get rid of them from a home. of course you shouldn't this is what class long as body looked like at the beginning of the treatment. now the plaque is there called are hardly visible any more thanks to bowel neo photo therapy. the patient takes

a salt bath and is at the same time exposed to artificial u. v. light. the salt enables the rings to better penetrate the skin. they have an anti inflammatory effect. the salt also helps to remove the scales. she'll psoriasis can be cured in combinations come to us up to 3 times a week on or after $25.00 sessions. things start to improve this time, but some patients need up to 70 sessions, so it varies. once the conditions stabilizes. we reduce the frequency of the sessions within the therapy can also be effective when it comes to a topic, eczema or vit ally go. klaus long as treatment is over for today. it should be so good. i feel really great. i'm very satisfied. it's helped a lot because you can see the previously affected areas are as good as gone in a few months. so have to repeat the therapy cycle. meanwhile, medical technologist, how, but please,

and his assistant are continuing to take measurements. uv radiation has yet another positive effect yet some summer in the summer, we always see a lower incident of viral illnesses that can certainly of something to do with solar radiation models. there are of course, several factors involved. what natural uv be radiation and uva radiation, both co viruses. oh, you know, we couldn't live without the sun. it cheers us up and has other positive effects. but of course sunlight should only be enjoyed in moderation. if you're outside for more than about 20 minutes, be sure to apply sunscreen. a now for a new exercise, be your work out. fitness instructor, aurelia da, mom has something relaxing for us today.
