In hot weather, be careful of the loss of water and electrolyte in your body, for fear of heatstroke! In order to prevent heatstroke, never wait until you are thirsty to drink water! Supplementing water and electrolyte in moderation is good for health.

Director Lin of the emergency room of Taichung Fengyuan Hospital said that in the past two weeks, four people in Taichung Fengyuan Hospital have been sent to hospital for heat failure, and two of them have been hospitalized. In this regard, Director Lin pointed out that in hot weather, people must form the habit of replenishing water at any time, and never wait until they are thirsty to drink water. At this time, it is often too late to replenish water!

In particular, people who often work outdoors at high temperatures should not only replenish more water than usual when sweating a lot; It is also recommended that you moderately strengthen the supply of salt, or drink an appropriate amount of sports drinks to help your body replenish enough electrolytes to avoid the problem of electrolyte imbalance or low sodium ion, resulting in physical discomfort.

Dr. Su Shuokai from the Department of Nephrology, Fengyuan Hospital added that when the above four people arrived at the hospital, most of them were weak and accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and some of them also had cramps. At the time of medical treatment, all the clothes on the four people were soaked due to a lot of sweating. After inquiry, it was also found that almost all of these four people were thirsty before drinking water. It can be seen that the above symptoms are obviously sweating in hot weather, a large amount of body water loss, insufficient water supply, which will lead to heat failure, and even two people need hospitalization.
