The possible limit may be lower than many people think. When the body is too hot, the heart has to work harder.
American scientists have found out what heat temperature the human body can tolerate. ScienceAlert writes about it.
“In terms of the theoretical maximum heat limit for the human body, more than 10 years ago, a study was published that said that a person can withstand up to 35 degrees Celsius at 100% humidity and up to 46 degrees Celsius at 50% humidity.This is the limit, where the body can no longer cool and maintain a stable temperature, but our study shows that this threshold is lower and it is worrying against the backdrop of continuing global warming, ”said the study’s authors.
Scientists say that when the body is too hot, the heart has to work harder to supply blood to the skin and relieve heat. When a person sweats more, he loses body fluids.
“As a result of our study, we found that the maximum heat limit, that is, the temperature that more or less normally a person can withstand, is 31 degrees Celsius at 100% humidity and 38 degrees Celsius at 60% humidity, “the researchers added.
Earlier, an Iranian study found that very hot drinks could be associated with a 90% increased risk of esophageal cancer.
