Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down.
