So, what we are facing the heat? Since we are warm-blooded creatures, our body throughout life supports a temperature of about 37 degrees. When it can’t deal with this task, the heat stroke comes. Signs of its approach is similar to the common cold. Not surprising, because the common cold also increases body temperature. So, if on a hot day on a long haul you feel weak, nauseated, dizzy, and your skin is flushed, you need to take measures to cool your body. For example, you can go into an air conditioned room, get into the river, buy a few gallons of water from the fridge and pour it. If not to take measures immediately, you will find vomiting, convulsions, hallucinations and loss of consciousness.
1. Dress correctly.
The body can be cooled in two ways. It can simply radiate heat outwards, but this only works when the temperature of this "outside" is less than body temperature. You might say, that we rarely see more than 37C outside? Well, firstly, all weather data without exception is based on the temperature in the shade. Secondly, even if the real temperature is below 37, the cooling rate depends on temperature difference, so the difference in 3-5 degrees won’t be working good. And thirdly, the wind (and there is always wind, when you are riding a bike) in a low humidity can greatly impair heat transfer. Order services of Dubai quad biking!
2. Get wet.
It is not necessary to force the body to sweat, you can just wet a t-shirt and/or liner. Just pour yourself by the collar and on the chest a bottle of water, moisten your balaclava and go — cooling will last from an hour to two hours, depending on temperature and humidity. If you don't wear a balaclava, get yourself a neck scarf, like cowboys in westerns. If Hollywood is to be believed, the cowboys shut the lower part of their face during the Bank robbery with such scarfs. In fact, they wrapped the wet cloth around their neck during long crossings.
3. Drink More.
At a comfortable temperature, the body loses with sweat about a liter of fluid a day. But in the heat when you need quick and efficient cooling, the loss may reach one and a half liters per hour. Therefore, it is better to stop more often to drink pure water.
