how do selection and use of food help us to regulate our body temperature
Answers
Water accounts for about 60 percent of your body weight and plays an essential role in body temperature regulation as well as waste removal and the lubrication and protection of joints, tissues and the spinal cord. The evaporation of sweat from the body’s surfaces helps to cool the body during hot weather and physical activity. When your body loses too much fluid, you become dehydrated, which can lead to heat intolerance, light-headedness, fatigue, flushed skin and loss of appetite
