Heat index values are quite important for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat.
