What adaptation allows humans to exercise for long periods of time without overheating?
A
Getting hungry and eating food cools us down.
B
Getting tired and taking a rest.
C
Getting thirsty and drinking water lets us sweat and cool down.
D
Breathing deeply lets us cool down.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The heat makes you sweat, which cools you down, but that also means you’re constantly losing fluid. You should drink water to counteract dehydration in hot or humid weather, regardless of your activity level. Drinking water helps lower your body temperature and replace the fluid you lose through sweating.

Detailed explanation-2: -During exercise: Drink 4 to 5 ounces (120-150 ml) of water every 10-15 minutes. After exercise: Drink enough water to double the amount of water your body lost during exercise.

Detailed explanation-3: -In ancient times, some people harvested rain in big containers, but many more people used water that had collected naturally in streams, rivers, and in the ground. They could find groundwater rushing by in rivers, or bubbling up from underground through a spring. They could also dig deep into the earth to find water.
