Dietary Considerations For Soldiers Exposed To Heat

摘要

Much has been written about the modification of dietary habits considered to be necessary in different climates. Most of this has little scientific background. The effect of climate on the need for nutriment have often been exaggerated. In hot climates the body can only be maintained at an even temperature by sweating. In this paper the author summarises the dietary considerations for soldiers exposed to heat and calls attention to the risk of the excessive heat and to the possibility to avoid it.
