Heat causes health problems by altering the body's temperature regulation system. Normally, the body cools down by sweating, but under certain physical and environmental conditions this is not enough.
If body heat is not effectively eliminated, the body temperature rises rapidly. Protecting yourself with small precautions prevents the occurrence of both mild ailments that feel the heat such as cramps, fainting, edema, and those of greater severity, such as congestion, heat stroke, dehydration. In the case of chronic diseases, in the presence of extreme heat conditions, one is exposed to a greater risk.
Lying in the sun offers several benefits, but your skin can also suffer if you don't protect yourself adequately. There are several undesirable effects on the epidermis such as sunburn, premature aging, allergies and, in the most serious cases, tumors of different types.
The talk "15 minutes with ..." is edited by Aou Cagliari News, the newspaper of the university hospital. Agile and simple format, it provides 15 minutes of question and answer with the specialists and the possibility for the public to ask questions live.
