Can Our Body Adapt To More Heat
Yes it can, but it takes some time, and the duration is variable for each individual. To be better at heat management, the body needs to increase its blood and plasma volume, which enables the body to get better at retaining salt. Better salt retention enables the body to hold on to more fluid, and more fluid leads to more sweat, facilitating heat loss in the process.
