It is very hot in summer. Why not drink a lot of water to quench your thirst sometimes?

Don't drink hard, replenish water in time, and don't wait until you are thirsty. It is best to drink light salt water in summer, because in hot summer, the human body mainly relies on sweating to expel excess heat in the body and maintain normal body temperature. Excessive sweating can lead to the loss of body fluids. Body fluid contains electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, chlorine and calcium, which is an important part of human body. Under normal circumstances, electrolytes in body fluids are balanced. If a large number of body fluids are not replenished in time, it may cause electrolyte disorder and even heatstroke symptoms such as convulsions. If you only drink boiled water, tea, etc. At this time, the electrolyte supplement is ignored, and even if you drink more water, it will be excreted quickly because of the low content of sodium and chlorine. Salt, also called sodium chloride, can supplement both chlorine and sodium after being ingested by human body. People who sweat too much in summer, especially those who work at high temperature, should drink salty drinks in moderation and supplement water, chlorine and sodium.
