Heat stroke is first of all a life threatening condition happens when the body temperature rises to dangerous levels or when the when the body’s heat-regulating system fails to cope with high temperatures as a result of exposing the body to high heat and humidity at that process the body loses too much water and salts through sweating. From the explanation, heat stroke is when there's too much heat in the body and the body temperature or body system can no longer cope with it. This condition is very dangerous because if care is not taken, it can lead to death.

♦️Exposing our body to high temperatures. For those of us who are forn of working outside or under the sun without wearing something to cover our body, from today contest, it's clear that this works can actually lead to heat stroke. Staying in a hot environment can also be another perspective like staying is a close car or a room without good ventilation.
♦️Lack of water in the body or dehydration: heat stroke can also strike when there's no enough water in the body, If you're in a hot weather, you may likely to sweat. If we don't drink enough water to cover the one drained through sweat, it can be difficult for the body to regulate the body temperature properly.

But at the same time , do you know what happened when something is excess or overdo? it can lead to problem. The same applies to heat stroke. If someone is exercising continuously without a break or without being hydrated in a hot weather, it's can actually lead to heat stroke.

From my research, this drug called diuretics or antipsychotics can actually interfere with the body’s ability to regulate temperature. Also health condition like heart disease and diabetes can also lead to heat stroke.

What to do if we find someone in heat stroke conditions
Someone like me have never experienced the condition but as we know, we live in a world whereby unexpected circumstances can happen at any time, if we find our self or people around us in this condition what should we do?
❤️Move or get the person to a place that's cool, or a shard, a place away from sun.
❤️Try to cool the person's body temperature down by applying ice blocks on the person's neck, and head,
❤️Give the person cool water to drink, remember no alcoholic beverage with caffeine.
❤️Call for help or emergency is the person is not responding for immediate medical assistance.
I believe with this small know knowledge today we'll be able to live a healthy life with no heath condition. Thank you all.
