The 2015 heat wave claimed more than 1,500 lives in Pakistan, while the death toll in India was more than 2,500. Meteorologists have warned that global warming will now start to increase with each passing year and unfortunately Pakistan is also one of the major countries affected by the heat wave. These heat waves on the rise in the world are becoming more and more deadly for the elderly and children, so the first question is how to avoid the heat wave? These 5 methods can be of great help to prevent heat wave, before knowing these methods, you must understand how the intensity of heat affects our body.

The natural temperature of the human body is close to 37 degrees Celsius and now if it reaches 41 degrees Celsius due to external heat, human death may occur. So the question is, how can you increase the temperature of the human body?

Whether it's hot or cold, our body maintains body temperature around 37 degrees Celsius. In case of extreme heat, our natural system opens the arteries and increases the amount of sweat so that the water in the sweat helps to cool the body down a bit but this is the same sweat that releases more water and salts in the body and in the blood. and our blood pressure drops and this drop is maintained for about 30 minutes and causes human death.
