- Delhi faces extreme heat with temperatures reaching 45 degrees Celsius
- High temperatures cause digestive problems like diarrhoea and nausea
- Dehydration reduces saliva and gastric juice, worsening digestion
As Delhi swelters under a red alert with temperatures soaring up to 45 degrees Celsius, doctors are seeing many patients walk in with stomach-related complaints, from bloating and acidity to diarrhoea and nausea.
Doctors have said that the intense heat can have grave effects on digestive health.
While there is no direct link between heat and digestion problems, experts explain that the body’s natural response to extreme heat may indirectly affect gut function.
