Health Farming: How Does the Body Reacts to Heat

As the body gets heated, the blood vessels in the skin open up. The oxygen content of superficial capillaries increases. Sweating starts. It is most profuse on the forehead. The blood volume and the cardiac output increases. For the first thirty minutes after the abrupt exposure to heat the blood volume increases due to influx of extra vascular fluid (fluid from tissue and muscles, surrounding the blood vessels). The blood gets diluted with more plasma. After half an hour the dilution is 5%. If the body continues to get heated for 1-4 hours this dilution may increase up to 13%. Not only this , the red cells circulating in the blood also increase. Later, there is formation of fresh plasma which further increased the blood volume.

The change in the colour of sky when the sun is rising or when it is setting is vivid and it is different on different days and different at all moments. The feeling is exhilarating, seeing the sun rise on the hills, specially in Nagarkot in Nepal when actually you see the sun rise from below to the top above the seven hills one on which is Everest.
