Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation.
