They read a lot about starvation deaths in the newspapers, and feel this is another form of fasting. This is not correct. Fasting is a deliberate act. It takes a lit of will power. Starvation only begins when fasting ends.

Health Farming: How Does the Body Reacts to Heat
As the body gets heated, the blood vessels in the skin open up. The oxygen content of superficial capillaries increases. Sweating starts. It is most profuse on the forehead. The blood volume and the cardiac output increases. For the first thirty minutes after the abrupt exposure to heat the blood volume increases due to influx of extra vascular fluid (fluid from tissue and muscles, surrounding the blood vessels).
