What are the precautions for heatstroke prevention in summer

Summer is the season when we need to pay the most attention to heatstroke prevention, because people are very likely to suffer from heatstroke in hot weather. If heatstroke is not treated quickly, it may even threaten people's life and health. But how can we better prevent heatstroke and cool down in summer? Now we will analyze and introduce these methods in detail. We hope that we can pay more attention to the understanding of these common sense in life.

1. Drink more boiled water and drink water at regular times. Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink. It is not advisable to drink too much after you are thirsty. You should drink less fruit juice, soda and other beverages, which contain more saccharin and electrolytes. Drinking too much will have adverse stimulation to the gastrointestinal tract and affect digestion and appetite.

2. Avoid drinking excessively. The human body is easily affected by the temperature in the summer and accumulates dampness and heat. Excessive dampness and heat are the cause of skin sores, carbuncles and swellings. Drinking a lot of white wine will increase heat and dampness, which is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

3. The diet should not be too light. In summer, people spend long periods of time on activities, sweat a lot, and consume a lot of energy. Therefore, they should eat more nutritious foods such as chicken, duck, lean meat, fish, eggs, etc. to meet the body's metabolic needs. Summer seasonal vegetables, such as lettuce, cucumber, tomato, etc. have a higher water content; fresh fruits, such as peaches, apricots, watermelon, melon, etc. have a water content of 80 to 90% and can be used to replenish water.

4. The nap time should not be too long. If you nap too long, your central nervous system will be more deeply inhibited, and the relative decrease in blood flow to the brain will slow down the metabolic process, causing general discomfort and increased sleepiness after waking up.

5. Avoid “rapid cooling” after heating. In the hot summer, when people go out or come back from work, they like to either turn on the fan or take a cold shower immediately. This will cause the pores all over the body to close quickly, making it difficult for the heat in the body to dissipate. It will also cause insufficient blood supply to the brain due to rapid contraction of blood vessels in the brain, making people dizzy.

6. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor air conditioning should not be too large. When using air conditioning, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not exceed 5 degrees. Even in hot weather, the indoor temperature of the air-conditioned room should not be lower than 24 degrees.

The most important and basic way to prevent heatstroke in summer is to drink more water. Because people sweat in summer, they can easily lose more water. When the body is in a state of dehydration, it is most likely to cause heatstroke. At the same time, you should also pay attention to maintaining good living habits and regular work and rest time.
