Stay Aware - Stay Hydrated

Stay Aware - Stay Hydrated

Acclimatization results from the following changes in the way the body works:

  • Body produces more sweat → more evaporative cooling
  • Sweat contains less salt loss → less likely to develop electrolyte imbalances and heat cramps
  • Body is more efficient at getting rid of heat → slower heart rate and slower body temperature increase
  • More blood flows to the skin → more efficient cooling through the skin
