It’s hot and humid in summer, here are the ultimate tips for preventing heat stroke!

1. Daily precautions against heat stroke

First of all, the most important thing is to ensure adequate sleep. In summer, the days are long and the nights are short. In addition, the temperature is high and the human body's metabolism is fast, which can easily lead to lack of sleep, resulting in mental fatigue and easily inducing heatstroke. It is best to ensure 8 hours of sleep a day and do not stay up late. It is best to go to bed at 10 p.m. and get up at 6 a.m. the next day. Do not sleep directly facing the fan or air conditioner.

Secondly, when going out, do not wear clothes that are too thick or too tight, and do not wear clothes made of chemical fibers, so as to avoid being unable to sweat and dissipate heat in time. Wear more cotton, linen, and silk clothes that are good for sweating. You can choose short sleeves, shorts, and sandals. I believe everyone will pay close attention to this point.

Finally, in terms of diet, we should of course drink more water and eat less spicy food, but it should be noted that you must not wait until you are thirsty to drink water. You should drink 2 liters of water a day. If you sweat too much, you should drink more. You can drink more light salt water or water containing minerals. But don't drink too much water at one time to avoid water poisoning. Also, do not drink ice water after exercise to avoid stomach cramps. In addition to spicy foods, we should also pay attention to eating less high-protein foods. High-protein foods contain high calories and should be consumed as little as possible. We can try to eat a light diet and eat more clean vegetables and fruits.

2. Fight against heat stroke

To fight against exposure to the sun and high temperatures, first of all, we must of course prepare good sun protection equipment and heat prevention supplies. Sun hats, parasols, sunglasses, etc. are all good sun protection equipment. It is best to apply some sunscreen half an hour before departure; in addition, you need to prepare plenty of water. If conditions permit, you can carry some wind oil, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, etc.

If you stay outdoors for a long time and feel that your body temperature is too high, you can try to rinse your wrists with cold water. You can rinse your wrists with tap water once every 3 hours for one minute each time. This is because the wrists are where the arterial blood flows, and flushing with water can effectively lower the blood temperature.

In addition, the most important thing is that no matter what, we should avoid working at noon. The sunlight is the strongest and the temperature is the highest at noon. People who work should avoid working at this time. They can choose to start work early and finish work late, take more breaks in between, and do not work continuously. Being too tired is also one of the causes of heat stroke.
