Casual Talk : 7th May ' 24 : Heat, Health and more

Tweet

May time here means days of heat and extreme heat. Yet over the years, heatwaves have started to increase. Parts of Eastern and Southern India have many parts where the temperatures are above normal and in some cases above 45 C ! Those without sufficient cooling arrangements and exposed to sun are the worst affected. Administrators do take steps but it is difficult to ascertain how effective they are. I hope the people exposed to such conditions remain healthy. Talking about health, I too seemed to have been affected by higher temperatures (though not above normal for this time of the year) and its impact on our digestion. We went outside in high heat on Saturday and even though we were in an AC car, stoppages meant that in between the cooling reduced. Plus I ate more than what I should have in lunch. All this and more lead to severe indigestion and stomach ache. I had to take two days leave and visit to a doctor. Well, medication is something which nobody likes but what to do in such cases? I am recovering as of now but well, a vital lesson learnt : don't test your body's digestive capabilities too much !! What's cooking at your end (figurative, not literal)?
