Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat.
