Yep. Very much so. Same for cold and high altitudes. Our bodies really are extra badass. Low oxygen- more red blood cells and hemoglobin concentration.
Cold- blood thickens.
Fun fact: proffesional distance bikers and runners will often go train for several weeks before a race in high altitudes as a means to increase red blood cell counts without “doping”. All the benefits of cheating but without technically cheating.
Just so we’re on the same page, I wasn’t unsure whether it is possible to acclimatise one’s body to different temperatures but whether this was something someone actually had the gall to write about as a “climate solution”.
Autopsies always find that they have defective hearts or heart valves if it isn’t an aneurysm. Healthy athletes never really drop dead without a pre existing cause.

Oh. I got ya. Lol
Also, occasionally, athletes just fucking drop dead while doing so. And they’re the healthiest among us.
