electronics sample is the gym and spring champion in her age group 182 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 he 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. first room, it's best to do it in the morning in the shade. some i'm in that way you avoid the midday heat and don't put unnecessary strain on your circulation to this and there's usually less of using pollution then in the afternoon. now you could run and relate evening to lowe's and this is ben schneider has pulled along a few items that may excising in the heat, easier on kansas. i'm of you can prepare yourself by cooling down beforehand as well as during the enduring session and afterwards. well,
11:45 am
let's start with pre cooling, so i can see that you can simply spray your arms a little. so your body is already a bit cool up before you start from the after cruise, the revised quote and the so i have to admit that i've never spray myself with water like that. it's pleasant hungry, and because it's a relatively fine spray, you don't get too wet to nice thing is if you already know the whole pack so you can put them on the back of the neck, knocking the an option for during or off to the training session. but it's not something else i brought, that's increasingly being used by pros for these cooling best, but just try them on. and you'll 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,
11:46 am
the blood vessels in the skin. this increases circulation, and 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 load. the same time we start switching fluids are released through the skin cooling as they of operate. the bodies cooling mechanisms can lead to exhaustion. it's that for advisable to cool the pony before turing, after exercise. also remember to drink 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 during and your installed. we always these more fluid 3. sweat is then we can, we absorb by drinking and you might lose less than 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,
11:47 am
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 faster every minute. in go stop and 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 tony a quarter is converted into muscle strength phase, 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. but what can happen if you resent yourself, for example, because you have to play a match in the afternoon. when you
11:48 am
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, we found towels on display of the senior run this feel well equipped to cope with a whole days ahead of through even in an era climate change exercise remains 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,
11:49 am
or maybe lentils. each smaller meals more frequently at hot meals are best eaten lukewarm, try water melon and ju covers tomatoes berries and leafy green vegetables. they're a good source of electro lines. fennel and broccoli provide potassium vital 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. the frequent heat ways with a higher temperatures are popular to people like coffee please. a. she takes medication for high blood pressure and katia arrhythmia. when you get to look, for example, when i'm gardening here in the mid day heat or whatever, i get dizzy, then of course i notice it then that shouldn't make it does that today. you'll
11:50 am

11:51 am
is urgent in needed to reduce the number of heat tests. car include the feeding, the benefit. let me see the d test to adjust the number of tablets i take according to the temperatures outside. then i feel fine throughout the day. we'll look guns and talk about adapting medication to extreme weather conditions. another impact of climate change. he doesn't just effect the way that tablets work. medicines and soft liquid or cream form like suppositories appointments, and costs are up, can also be effected as well as drug patches and sprays. suppositories may turn liquid which can affect how they work, creams and ointments can separate in the heat. medication should always be stored in a cool, dry place. an insulated cooler bag is practical,
11:52 am
especially when you're traveling. climate change also causes psychological suffering for those directly affected, of course, but too many images of natural disasters or fears about the future can harm us to, as it has never been in this room. in february, normally the freezing depths of winter in germany, temperatures was 6 degrees celsius, above average. for the 1st time, people will make exceeded $1.00 degrees and for 12 month period, climate change is becoming more noticeable in the extreme. this can affect to psychologically experts cool, this kind of distress climate anxiety. 5 the, as this work on the line is completely normal to have feelings about the climate. i didn't we muller, but everything that happens to us and react to motion lean response. we might fear the potential consequences of climate change or feel guilty about to run behavior or anger about the inaction of politicians or company. do you want to discourage
