Abstract in brief

This review discusses the potential role of nutrition in exertional heat stroke (EHS), a serious condition affecting individuals engaged in strenuous activity in hot environments, and highlights that some nutritional strategies like carbohydrate intake, proper hydration, and glutamine supplementation might help protect against EHS, though more research is needed.
It emphasizes that while environmental and physical factors are well-studied in preventing EHS, the impact of nutrition remains underexplored, despite evidence suggesting certain dietary practices could mitigate the injury’s severity or potentially increase risk if not properly managed.
The review aims to provide an overview of EHS, explain its underlying mechanisms, and suggest how specific nutritional approaches could influence its development, guiding future research in this area.]
