The weather is hot, what should you pay attention to to prevent heatstroke?

1. Travel to avoid the scorching sun. Remember to prepare sun protection equipment when going out in summer. It is best not to walk in the scorching sun between 10:00 and 16:00, because the sun is strongest during this time, and the possibility of heatstroke is 10 times higher than usual! If you must go out at this time , be sure to take protective measures, such as wearing a parasol, a sun hat, and sunglasses. It is best to apply sunscreen if possible; prepare enough water and drinks. When going out, try to use cotton, linen, and silk fabrics as much as possible. Wear less chemical fiber clothing to avoid heat stroke due to inability to dissipate heat in time when you sweat a lot.

2. Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink water. Don't wait until you are thirsty to drink water, because thirst is a sign that your body is already dehydrated. Ideally, drink 1.5 to 2 liters of water per day, depending on the temperature. When you sweat a lot, you can add some salt water to make up for the salt your body loses due to sweating. In addition, the human body is prone to potassium deficiency in summer, making people feel tired and fatigued. Potassium-containing tea is an excellent summer drink. Seasonal vegetables in summer, such as lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc., have a high moisture content; fresh fruits, such as peaches, apricots, watermelons, melons, etc., have a moisture content of 80 to 90%, and can be used to replenish moisture. In addition, dairy products can not only replenish water but also meet the nutritional needs of the body.

3. Get enough sleep. In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and the temperature is high. The human body's metabolism is strong and consumes a lot of energy, making it easy to feel tired. Adequate sleep can relax the brain and body systems, which is not only conducive to work and study, but also a measure to prevent heatstroke. The best time to go to bed is from 22:00 to 23:00, and the best time to get up is from 5:30 to 6:30. Be careful not to lie under the air outlet or electric fan of the air conditioner when sleeping to avoid suffering from air conditioning disease and heat cold.
