The weather is particularly hot, how to prevent heatstroke?

1. Pay attention to replenish water and sugar in time.

In hot and humid rooms and cars, even if you don't exercise, you will lose a lot of water and salt in your body due to a lot of sweating and rising body temperature, resulting in heatstroke symptoms such as convulsions and coma. Everyone should pay attention to replenish the water lost due to a lot of sweating in time and sugar at the same time, which is better.

It is best to drink more light salt boiled water and mung bean soup. If you need to do manual labor or strenuous exercise in a high temperature environment, you should drink at least 2 ~ 4 glasses of water (500~ 1 000 ml) every hour. The water temperature should not be too high, and the amount of drinking water should be less and the number of times should be more.

2. Pay attention to sun protection when going out in hot weather.

Don't go out if you can. If you can reduce outdoor activities, then reduce outdoor activities. Put things in the morning or evening. Please take sunscreen clothes, umbrellas, etc. When you go out. If possible, you can wear sunscreen.

Step 3 drink more soup

In summer, we often cook many soups, such as sour plum soup, hawthorn soup and honeysuckle soup. Because the human body sweats all the time, it will consume a lot of body fluids, leading to water shortage, while drinking water can only replenish water, not energy. Therefore, drinking these soups can replenish energy while replenishing water, which is a good choice.

4. Room ventilation

The most important thing to prevent heatstroke is indoor ventilation. Don't always close the doors and windows. In the morning or evening, it is best to open the window for ventilation. When it is hot at noon, you can turn on the air conditioner or electric fan, and try to lower the room temperature to about 26℃ to avoid heatstroke.

You can't go shirtless in hot weather.

There are many gentlemen who like to go shirtless on such a hot day. Actually, this is not right.

In fact, in summer, you should wear light and sweaty clothes instead of going shirtless, because direct blowing after sweating will make the capillaries contract rapidly, and moisture and hot air will be trapped in the body and cannot be discharged. In hot summer, boys always like to play shirtless to cool off the heat, but according to the viewpoint of traditional Chinese medicine, playing shirtless to blow their hair is easy to catch cold, and the capillaries contract rapidly, which makes damp heat stuffy in the body and more prone to heatstroke. When you feel very hot, you can gently pat the place where the medial artery of your wrist passes with cold water to lower the blood temperature, or wipe your body with a wet towel. Don't directly ice or ice your shirtless body.
