When the weather is hot in summer and the outside temperature is higher than the body temperature, people will feel uncomfortable. In particular, people in security, police, cleaners and other positions often take part in work during the day. Working outdoors for a long time, sweating a lot and consuming a lot of energy, it is easy to become a high-risk group of heatstroke in summer.
In order to cope with physical discomfort, some people also bring ice water and buy iced drinks. When you are sweating, drinking heavily can instantly cool down. But I want to remind you that the hotter the weather, the less you should do it.
When sweating heavily, the human body is in a state of vasodilation and blood pressure reduction. Once drinking iced drinks to cool down, blood vessels will contract strongly, stimulate the heart and brain, leading to insufficient blood supply to the brain, leading to fainting, shock and even sudden death. For people with bad stomach, they are also vulnerable to cold stimulation, causing gastrointestinal mucosal damage and even inducing acute gastroenteritis.
For the frail elderly, when choosing drinks in summer, we should pay attention to avoid iced drinks, iced beer, especially carbonated drinks, which also contain a lot of sugar and fat. Even sugar-free, there is a lot of phosphoric acid, which will damage the health of teeth and bones and increase the probability of osteoporosis in the elderly.
Therefore, if you want to cool down or keep healthy in summer, don't drink a lot of iced drinks. When you have found signs of heatstroke, such as dizziness, fatigue, headache, nausea, cramps, etc. First, help yourself to dissipate heat in time and get rid of the extra shackles on your body.
Second, replenish water to the body, and be careful not to drink coffee, iced drinks and wine, which will affect the body's heat dissipation, even take away excess water in the body and aggravate heatstroke. The first choice is boiled water. If there is mung bean soup for sale in a nearby shop, it is a good drink to quench your thirst and relieve summer heat. Drink slowly with a small mouth. Water can promote the metabolism of the whole body, slow down the heatstroke reaction and completely improve the discomfort.
Avoid heatstroke at ordinary times and drink mung bean soup in moderation every day. Mung bean is rich in potassium, which can be as high as 787 mg per100g. While supplementing potassium, it can also increase people's ability to resist heatstroke and help the body replenish electrolytes lost during sweating. Going out to work can avoid heatstroke to the greatest extent.
When the elderly drink it, if they just take it out of the refrigerator and leave it for 1~2 hours, they can drink it at room temperature, which can reduce gastrointestinal irritation and be healthier.
