Health Tips

When generation of heat exceeds the body’s capacity for heat loss, core temperature rises. Heat illness occurs either when the environmental temperature is high, or when sweating is impaired or its efficacy as a heat loss mechanism is reduced by high ambient humidity. Susceptibility to heat illness is exacerbated by increased muscular activity, other undercurrent illnesses, increasing age and drug therapy (particularly phenothiazines, diuretics and alcohol).

A considerable degree of acclimatization occurs over a period of several weeks in individuals who move to a hot climate or who regularly work in a hot environment. Adaptive mechanisms include stimulation of the sweating mechanism with increased sweat volume and reduced sweat sodium content, and secondary hyperaldosteronism to maintain body sodium balance. The risk of heat-related illness falls as acclimatisation occurs. Heat illness can be prevented to a large extent by adequate replacement of salt and water, although excessive water intake alone should be avoided because of the risk of dilutional Sodium reduction from the body
A spectrum of illnesses those occur in the heat:

Heat cramps
These painful muscle contractions occur most commonly in the legs of young people following vigorous exercise and profuse sweating in hot weather. There is no elevation of core temperature. Salt reduction can occur as a result of persistent sweating.

Heat syncope
This is one type of faint and is related to distant blood vessel dilation in hot weather.

Heat exhaustion
Heat exhaustion occurs with prolonged exertion in hot and humid weather, profuse sweating and inadequate salt and water replacement. There is an elevation in core (rectal) temperature to between 37°C and 40°C.if remains Untreated, heat exhaustion may progress to heat stroke

Heat stroke
This occurs when the core body temperature rises above 40°C and is a severe and life-threatening condition. The symptoms of heat exhaustion include headache, nausea and vomiting. The patient’s skin feels very hot, and sweating is often absent.

The patient should be managed in hospital with rapid cooling by spraying with water (to increase evaporation heat loss), fanning (to increase convection heat loss), and ice packs in the axillae and groins (to increase conduction heat loss). With appropriate treatment, recovery from heat stroke can be rapid (within 1-2 hours) but patients who have had core temperatures higher than 40°C should be monitored carefully complications before discharge from hospital. Clear advice to avoid recurrence, and avoidance of heavy exercise during recovery, are important.

Usually young generation of this time is   now very much enthusiastic to build up their career in glamour world. They are coming to various fields such as music, dance, theatre, fashion modeling, interior designing, acting in film industries etc. etc. Ramp modeling is always considered as the basic foot step to enter in the glamour world. Many actors and actresses became famous in the film industry; their starting was from modeling or ramp modeling.
The first need to become a ramp model is to obtain good slim figure. Because without slim figure nobody will allow you. So Girls doing their in this sector are very conscious about their figure; doing their regular exercises, maintaining strong diet control. Some are very over conscious about their figure and they create some problem to themselves. I have dedicated this article for them…

What does these overconcious girls do?  They do extra loaded physical exercise to burn extra fats from their body (although ninety nine percent of them are look like malnourished!). Strong diet controlling goes on along with exercise.

This strong and harsh life style may lead to the disease-Anorexia Nervosa- the fear of taking food…

There is marked weight loss, arising from food avoidance combination with excessive exercise, or even due the self use of laxatives to clear the bowel. There is profound body image disturbance so that, despite being thin, girls still feel overweight and are terrified of weight gain. The alternative causes of weight loss are usually absent. These are intense and pervasive, and the false beliefs that display a morbid fear of fatness. Despite this they recurrently refuse to take food it; if forced, it is often found that they follow the corrective measures themselves such as self-induced vomiting. Usually they found with Anxiety and depressive symptoms.  Extreme starvation is associated with a wide range of physiological and bodily changes. All organ systems may be affected, although the heart, kidneys and brain are mostly affected.

Why they do it?-This is actually unknown but it is thought it is professional and environmental factors also sometimes includes social pressure on women to be thin.

These girls need guided self-help and improved interpersonal relationship to ensure her the physical well-being, whilst helping to increase body weight to the normal range by addressing abnormal beliefs and behavior. The friends and the family can play the most vital role in this sector. Sometimes hospitalization is needed.

One study showed about 20% of girls with anorexia nervosa has a good outcome, a further 20% develop a chronic disease and the rest have an intermediate outcome. There is a long-term mortality rate of 10-20%, either due to the complications of starvation or from suicide.
So, sweet glamour girls! Can you understand the out come of your over figure consciousness? Excess anything is bad- what do you think?
