Tips for preventing heat and cooling in summer
Tips for preventing heat and cooling in summer
1. Replenish water in time but drink less drinks.
Beverages such as juice, cola, Sprite, soda and other beverages contain more saccharin and electrolytes. Drinking too much will cause adverse stimulation to the gastrointestinal tract and affect digestion and appetite. Therefore, you should drink more boiled water or light salt (sugar) boiled water in summer.
2. Do not drink wildly after being thirsty.
After sweating a lot in labor and exercise, it is not advisable to drink a lot of white water. Some light salt (sugar) water should be appropriately supplemented, because after sweating a lot, the salt content in the human body will be lost too much, accounting for about 0.5% of sweat. If salt is not supplemented in time, the proportion of water and salt in the body will be seriously unbalanced, leading to metabolic disorders.
3. The time when the solar short-wave radiation is strongest is around 10:00-15:00.
You should try to avoid going out during this period. You must go out. You should apply some sunscreen skin care products on your skin. It is better to wear light colors in summer.
4. Do not drink too much alcohol.
The human body is very likely to accumulate dampness and heat due to temperature in summer, and excessive dampness and heat are the cause of skin sores, carbuncles and swelling. If you drink a lot of white wine, it will help heat and generate dampness, which is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
5. The diet should not be too light.
In summer, people have long activity time, sweat a lot, and consume a lot. They should eat more nutritious foods such as chicken, duck, lean meat, fish, eggs, etc. to meet the human body's metabolic needs.
6. The nap time should not be too long.
If the nap is too long, the central nervous system will deepen and inhibit, and the relative decrease in blood flow in the brain will slow down the metabolic process, resulting in uncomfortable and more sleepy body after waking up.
7. Avoid "Quick cooling" after being heated.
In the hot summer, people go out or return from work, they like to either turn on the fan or take a cold shower immediately. This will cause the pores of the whole body to close quickly, making the heat in the body difficult to dissipate, and it will also cause insufficient blood supply to the brain due to the rapid contraction of blood vessels in the brain, causing dizziness.
8. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor air conditioners should not be too large.
It is advisable that the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor using air conditioners should not exceed 5 degrees. Even if the weather is hotter, the indoor temperature of air conditioners should not be below 24 degrees.
9. It is not advisable to wear metal jewelry.
Some metals in metal decorations are stained with sweat. When worn, the skin you touch may show symptoms such as redness or itching, which can easily cause contact dermatitis.
Summer anti-heat, six treasures

From a nutritional point of view, any sugary drink is not as valuable as boiled water, because pure boiled water can be quickly absorbed by the stomach after entering the human body, enter the blood circulation and exert its metabolic function, while regulating body temperature and cleaning the internal environment of the human body.
When drinking boiled water, you should choose fresh and cool boiled water (20℃ to 25℃) that is naturally cooled after boiling. This boiled water has specific biological activity and is easily penetrated into the cell membrane and is quickly absorbed and utilized. It is best to add some salt when drinking boiled water. In summer, when there is high temperature, sweating too much, the body's salt decreases, and the osmotic pressure in the body will lose stability, resulting in heatstroke. Drinking more salt water or salt tea can replenish the lost salt in the body, thereby achieving the effect of preventing heat.
Tea:
Experienced health care doctors often guide people to replenish potassium by drinking tea. Potassium is an important trace element in the human body. Potassium can maintain normal functions of nerves and muscles, especially normal movement of the myocardium. If potassium is deficient, people will feel burnout and weak and their heat tolerance will be reduced. When potassium deficiency is severe, it can lead to arrhythmia and general muscle weakness. Tea contains a lot of potassium, accounting for about 1.5% of its proportion. Potassium is easily discharged with sweat, and tea with appropriate temperatures should be the first choice for summer.
