[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Have you been overtaken by sudden bouts of sluggishness, increased thirst spells, fatigue that tends to wear you down or constant discomfort that does not allow your body the rest it requires? If these are once in a while it could be due to increased or sudden bursts of activity, where the symptoms disappear after a little period of rest and quiet. But regularly occurring and lowering your efficiency they could be a signal for the unnatural rise in the internal heat of the body.

The normal body temperature in warm climatic conditions is supposed to be at 36.9 ⁰ C or 98.4 ⁰ F and the internal functions of the body perform healthily as long as this temperature is maintained. Any imbalance of steep rise or steep fall, which the internal functions are not able to cope up with, immediately tells on the health of the organs and they start malfunctioning, leading to poor health and weakness.

We turn our attention to the overheated body in warm climes.

Body heat could be due to:

• Illness or fever in the body
• Strenuous physical workouts
• Wearing tight clothing or artificial clothing that does not allow proper air circulation to the body
• Undue exposure to the sun
• Increased thyroid activity that raises the metabolic levels and produces heat within the body
• The ingestion of certain medical substances like drugs or stimulants that generate heat
• Certain medical conditions arising out of malfunctions within the body
• Diseases like psoriasis, systemic sclerosis that could affect normal sweating process
• Certain neurological disorders

Body Heat has to be removed and done away with at the earliest recognition of the signs or certain body organs could start malfunctioning and constant overheated conditions could lead from organ damage to failure.

So, how is the body heat to be removed?

• Spicy and hot foods could be reduced for a start and minimized at the earliest
• Fatty and fried foods that have a lot of oils and Spice content should also be drastically cut down or avoided for some time
• Caffeinated drinks like tea and coffee generate a lot of internal heat. They can be drastically reduced and later cut-off totally

• If nuts are being consumed regularly, their intake has to be lowered substantially
• A lot of greens and vegetarian diet would help. Especially those partial to meat and such fleshy substances.
• Coconut oil and Olive oil the non-fattening and healthy oils can be used for cooking.
