🧠 Heat Reduces Cognitive Abilities

Research confirms a link between extreme heat and decreased cognitive abilities: just 15 minutes of exposure to intense heat impairs concentration. Additionally, a 9.7% increase in hospitalizations for mental illnesses has been recorded during heatwaves.

🌍 Climate change is becoming a biological risk factor, requiring the integration of meteorological data into healthcare systems and occupational safety protocols.

👤 Extreme heat is a real threat to cognitive efficiency and mental health, necessitating new approaches to sleep patterns and body cooling.
