Bright sunshine and hot weather trigger physiological responses leading to an increase in the risks of developing hypertension, diabetes, and thyroid disorders. The higher levels of body temperature caused by excessive heat and sweating make hydration decrease, causing physiological imbalances in the body. According to scientific research from the National Institutes of Health in the U.S., heat affects cardiometabolic processes, resulting in elevated blood pressure, glucose concentration, and burden on the heart.
