to prevent heat injury, never wait until you are thirsty to drink water! Moderate supplementation of water and electrolytes is beneficial to health
Director Lin Jizheng of the emergency room of Taichung Fengyuan Hospital said that in the past two weeks, four people in Taichung Fengyuan Hospital have been sent to hospital for heat failure, and two of them have been hospitalized. In this regard, Director Lin Jizheng pointed out that the weather is hot, people must develop the habit of replenishing water at any time, and never wait until they are thirsty to drink water. At this time, it is often too late to replenish water!
In particular, people who often have to work outdoors in high temperature should not only replenish more water than usual under a lot of sweating; It is also suggested that we should moderately strengthen the supply of salt, or drink a proper amount of sports drinks to help the body replenish enough electrolytes to avoid the problems of electrolyte imbalance or low sodium ion, which will cause physical discomfort.
Dr. Su Shuokai from the Department of Nephrology, Fengyuan Hospital added that most of the above four people were weak and weak when they went to the hospital, accompanied by symptoms of nausea and vomiting, and some of them had cramps. At the time of medical treatment, all the clothes on the four people were wet due to a lot of sweating. After inquiry, it was also found that almost all of these four people were thirsty before drinking water. It can be seen that the above symptoms are obviously sweating in hot weather, a large amount of body water loss and insufficient water supplement, which will lead to heat failure, and even two people need hospitalization.
