It's too hot, how to escape the heat?

1. In summer, people have their own ingenious ways to deal with the heat and high temperature. But some tricks are people's radical practices, which may damage people's health after enjoying temporary comfort. Therefore, when dealing with the heat and high temperature, we should pay attention to the following five disadvantages. 1. Don't cool down too fast. When sweating profusely, many people think it's cool to take off their clothes and put them in front of the fan, or turn on the tap and let the cold water rush down to realize "rapid cooling". As we all know, this "rapid cooling" method often leads to "being happy for a while, being uncomfortable for a few days" and even causing various diseases. 2. The air conditioner should not be too cold. Medical meteorologists found through experiments that it is necessary to constantly adjust the room temperature in order to gradually adapt to the great changes in temperature. The correct way is: the indoor temperature should be constantly changing between 26℃ and 29℃, which is beneficial to health. 3. Drinking water should not be excessive. Drinking more water is a good measure to prevent heatstroke, but drinking too much water can also lead to poisoning. Especially in the hot summer, after people sweat a lot, electrolytes such as sodium salt in the body are also lost. If you drink plenty of boiled water at this time without supplementing salt, muscle twitching or muscle spasmodic pain will occur. 4. clothes should not be exposed. Health experts point out that only when the skin temperature is higher than the ambient temperature can bare skin cool down by increasing skin radiation and conducting heat dissipation. In hot summer, the highest temperature is generally close to or higher than 37℃, so the skin can't dissipate heat, but absorbs heat from the external environment, so it will feel hotter if you are shirtless in summer. 5. Don't wear dark sunglasses. Many people think that the darker sunglasses are, the better they can protect their eyes. In fact, the darker the lens, the worse the visibility will be, and the eyes will be damaged by the difficulty of seeing. Therefore, the standard of choosing sunglasses in summer should be that the lens can transmit 30% visible light, and gray and green are the best. Second, the prevention of heatstroke: heatstroke is a common emergency in summer, and strengthening prevention can greatly reduce the incidence. The prevention of heatstroke should pay attention to the following points: 1, adequate sleep. Arrange the rest time reasonably, ensure enough sleep to maintain sufficient physical strength, and achieve the purpose of heatstroke prevention and cooling. 2. A scientific and reasonable diet. Eat more vegetables, fruits and proper animal protein and fat to supplement physical exertion. Never go on a diet. 3. Take sun protection measures. Outdoor activities should avoid direct sunlight on the head and direct absorption of radiant heat by the skin. Wear a hat and loose clothes. 4. Drink water reasonably. Drink 3 liters to 6 liters per day, preferably containing 0.3%-0.5% sodium chloride. Avoid drinking plenty of water before and after meals and before and after strenuous exercise. Third, the hot summer is coming. In recent years, many families use air conditioners to protect their family life from the extreme heat. But most families still don't use air conditioning. In fact, some simple methods can also make your room cooler. 1, reasonably open and close doors and windows. Many people think it's cool to open doors and windows in summer, but it's not. During the day, the outdoor temperature is high, the doors and windows are wide open, and the sunshine and thermal radiation are accompanied by bursts of hot air, which will make the indoor and outdoor generally hot. If you open the doors and windows for ventilation in the morning and evening when the weather is cool, close the doors and windows during the day, especially at noon, isolate the invasion of outdoor hot air, and draw a light curtain to block the sun and reflect the thermal radiation, you can make the room cooler. According to the actual observation, although the outdoor temperature in Chengdu reaches more than 30 degrees after noon, the indoor temperature can still be kept at about 28 degrees by the above methods. 2, balcony greening, courtyard greening. Planting flowers and trees on the balcony of courtyard greening not only has high ornamental value, but also has the function of regulating microclimate, which will make the air fresh, cool and pleasant. Because green plants can not only shade the sun, but also reduce the temperature by evaporating the water on the leaves. Some data show that planting grapes, morning glory, Parthenocissus tricuspidata and some flowers and plants on the courtyard balcony can reduce the temperature of the attached wall by 5℃ ~ 14℃ and the indoor temperature by 2℃ ~ 4℃. 3, indoor use of fans and water evaporation cooling. For example, after wiping the floor indoors with a wet mop, turn on the ceiling fan to evaporate and absorb heat; You can also put a basin of cold water in front of the fan and turn on the fan to evaporate the water into cool air, which can all play a role in lowering the room temperature. Finally, in the hot summer, the room should be kept clean and tidy, and unnecessary things should be properly collected, so that there is more space in the room and people will feel comfortable. Don't make the room messy, which will not only make people feel stuffy and suffocated, but also make people feel annoyed. Fourth, create a cool driving space. Under the exposure of the sun, the temperature inside the car with closed windows may rise sharply to 50 to 60 degrees Celsius or even higher. High temperature is harmful to instrument panel and leather seat. Careful people will notice that some cars parked in the open air in summer will have a sun visor on the front windshield. Don't underestimate this small sun visor, it can block 80% of the strong sunlight, so you won't feel scorching when you get into the car. The sun visor is usually made of tin foil and can be folded. Most of its materials have good reflective effect. The use method is very simple, just open the sun visor and suck the sucker on the glass. Sticking the window in time Even with the protection of explosion-proof film, many car owners will feel that the sun is too enthusiastic. At this time, buy some windows and stick them on the windows in time to block the burning sunshine. The window is attached to the window in time, and static electricity is adsorbed on the window, so it does not need to be fixed. If I want to open the window, I will come down as soon as I open it, and there will be no traces on the glass. This kind of instant paste usually has many small holes. According to the principle of pinhole imaging, you can see the scenery outside the window. There are various patterns on the market for car owners to choose at will, which also has a good decorative effect on their cars. In summer, you often drink water in the car cup holder, but if there is no cup holder or there are not enough cup holders in the car, it is difficult to store drinks. Then buy a movable cup holder and put it in front of the air conditioner outlet. You can also "refrigerate" the drinks in the cup holder, so that you can drink cold and delicious drinks. Car refrigerator In hot summer, car refrigerator can not only refrigerate food, but also keep warm or heat food. In the working state, it is best to put the food into the box after freezing, so as to keep or continue to cool the food or drink; Do not block the upper and lower vents when using. 5.

Sixth, the temperature in summer is close to the temperature of human body, and the main way of heat dissipation of human body is sweat evaporation, so using heat to dissipate heat is a better way to keep fit. 1, hot towel to wipe the body: In summer, people's face and trunk will inevitably sweat. Sweating in time can promote skin ventilation, but hot towels must be used to adapt to the cooling rhythm of the human body. 2, take a hot bath: taking a cold bath in summer will shrink the skin, and it will feel hotter after washing, while taking a hot bath will sweat more, but it will expand the capillaries and help the body expel heat. Sweating in summer is a way to conform to the laws of nature and human rhythm. 3, hot water to wash feet: the foot is called the second heart, and there are representative areas of the whole body and reflection points of internal organs on people's feet. The ancients said, "Washing feet before going to bed is better than tonic." Summer is no exception. Although it felt a little hot at that time, it would bring coolness and comfort afterwards. 4, drink hot tea: cold drinks can only temporarily relieve summer heat, not permanently reduce fever and quench thirst, and drinking hot tea can stimulate the general relaxation of capillaries, but the body temperature is significantly reduced, which is a simple and excellent folk prescription.
