Eat more foods containing potassium to prevent "heatstroke": According to the clinical observation of modern medicine, the potassium content of all heatstroke patients is very low. Therefore, in order to prevent heatstroke in summer, we should eat more foods rich in potassium, and people who work at high temperature should drink some potassium-containing drinks appropriately.

Foods rich in potassium: soybean, red bean, edamame, rape, celery, spinach, kelp, yam, lettuce, laver, watermelon, banana, etc. In addition, milk, carp, eel and other foods also contain a certain amount of potassium, which should be eaten regularly. In addition, drink more tea in hot summer. Tea is rich in potassium. Drinking more tea can relieve summer heat and supplement potassium, killing two birds with one stone.

Minimize going out and replenish water in time: 10 Morning to 2: 00 pm is the highest temperature period in a day, so minimize going out. If you must work at high temperature, pay attention to replenish water at any time. Sweat more in summer, replenish water in time, and don't drink water when you are thirsty. But don't drink a lot of water in one breath after sweating, and drink a small amount of water many times to help the body absorb it.

Keep a good mood: people's emotions are closely related to the external environment. When encountering continuous high temperature, the human body will be in a state of "irritability", and Chinese medicine has the saying that "summer will be sad". Hot summer is the most likely to disturb the mind, and there may be emotional changes such as palpitation, upset, insomnia, impatience, irritability and anger. People who often suffer from insomnia and anger are prone to decreased immune function, and the body's ability to kill and devour pathogenic microorganisms is weakened, giving the virus an opportunity. Therefore, maintaining a good mood and an open mind can also play a role in preventing diseases to a certain extent.

At home, we should prepare some medicines for heatstroke prevention and dehumidification, such as Ren Dan, Shidishui, Huoxiang Zhengqi water or capsules. Huoxiang Zhengqi water is a commonly used summer medicine, which has the functions of dispelling cold and dampness, harmonizing middle energizer and dispelling summer heat. At the same time, it also has a good effect on treating eczema, beriberi and other skin diseases. The formulations of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and Huoxiang Zhengqi Capsule are basically the same. Huoxiang Zhengqi water is made of boiled water and soaked in wine, which has the most obvious curative effect, but its taste is poor. Huoxiang Zhengqi Water is not as effective as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, but it is convenient to take, absorb quickly and carry, which is more suitable for people who are afraid of bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine.

Don't set the air-conditioning temperature too low: people like to stay in air-conditioned rooms on hot days. In some offices, the air conditioning temperature is adjusted very low for a long time, and the human body is blown cold in the limbs. In addition, doors and windows are closed, indoor ventilation is not good, and the air is not fresh. If you go out from work and are steamed by hot air, it is easy to cause a cold. When using air conditioner indoors, the temperature should be set at about 26℃, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not exceed 7℃. It is best not to arrange desks and beds where the cold wind blows directly. We should stay in the air-conditioned room less for a while, take a walk outside properly, strengthen heat-resistant exercise, and especially don't rush into the air-conditioned room or turn on the electric fan.

The food should be light, but it should be cold: the diet should be light and taste-oriented, and avoid overeating, cold, greasy and spicy food. The most important thing is not to be greedy. Due to the hot summer climate, human blood vessels dilate, and qi and blood tend to the body surface, forming a physiological state in which yang is outside and yin is inside. The stomach and intestines of the human body often become "fragile", which is characterized by decreased digestive juice, decreased gastric acid and loss of appetite. If you eat a lot of cold drinks, it is easy to hurt the yang of the spleen and stomach, leading to abnormal transportation, dampness blocking the qi movement, and diarrhea and colds. You can eat more bitter food, such as bitter gourd, lily, lettuce, day lily and so on. These foods taste bitter or slightly bitter, which not only clears the heart, relieves annoyance, strengthens the spleen and eliminates dampness, but also stimulates appetite.

Adequate sleep and moderate exercise: In summer, due to staying up late and getting up early, it is easy to feel sad because of relative lack of sleep, and it is easy to cause the decline of human immune function due to heat and gas consumption. Therefore, we must pay attention to the rules of life in summer, don't stay up too late, especially to ensure adequate sleep, and it is best to take a nap at noon. At the same time, we should pay attention to moderate exercise, which is conducive to the smooth flow of qi and blood, health and illness.
