Things to Watch During Summer



As the weather got warmer, the season of full steamer heat over 30 degrees came. Healthy people should be careful about various things in the heat of the day, but people with diseases such as children and hypertension, diabetes, obesity, chronic respiratory disease and heart disease should be careful not to cause heat damage. In summer, health care for the heat is the most important point as the movement is worrying about the increase of the people with the warm disease if they are careless.

Exposure to hot weather or long periods of dehydration due to severe exercise can lead to serious accidents due to initial symptoms such as fatigue and helplessness, which occur when the temperature rises above 37.5 degrees. Therefore, if you are aware of the heat stress from the initial stage and do not cope immediately, it develops into convulsions and unconsciousness and can lead to a critical state quickly. Before summer outdoor activities, you should be more careful about weather forecasts, such as weather forecasts, avoiding the heat by frequently drinking plenty of cool water, bathing in cool water, and wearing loose, brightly colored clothes.

Heat stroke caused by dehydration and overheating due to hot weather and sweating can lead to death if not taken immediately. Heat stroke increased by 2.6 times every 1 ˚ C increase in heat index (HI). In the case of high temperature (HI), even if the temperature is high, the actual temperature is felt warmer. If the temperature is 32 ~ 41, it is considered that there is a possibility of heat stroke or heat seizure during physical activity. Most of them are exposed to heat for a considerable time but are not properly hydrated and salted.


Elderly people, like children, lack the ability to adjust to the external environment, so long exposure to a high temperature environment can lead to dizziness and risk of syncope. In hot weather, there is a lot of watering, and children and the elderly do not have a problem with the water itself, but when they are in a hot environment and suddenly get into cold water, sudden changes in the body temperature can cause cardiovascular problems. It is necessary to prepare enough exercise to get into the water and to adjust slowly to the water temperature from the far side of the heart.

It is possible to prevent a lot of heat diseases caused by the heat by just keeping the basic rules such as not enough for the heat of the steamer and replenishing the water sufficiently. Because febrile illnesses can be a lack of water in the brain, drinking enough water can be helpful. Even if only 1.5% of our body's water is lacking, it can affect mood, energy levels, and thinking power. Especially in women, the symptoms of dehydration are more pronounced.

Water should not drink passively enough to shake your neck, but drink consciously enough. It is good to eat fruits and vegetables with high moisture content frequently.

Adults usually eat about 8 glasses of water a day. When exercising in hot weather, drink 1 to 2 cups of cool water every 30 minutes, and supplement your salty and mineral when you sweat a lot.

By the way, 20% of the daily water intake comes from foods that are not drinking water. It is surprising that so much water is consumed in the food they eat, but it is also a dispute that it is important to eat foods that contain a lot of water for their health.

Berries such as strawberries and blueberries contain 90% moisture. Yogurt is a healthy snack that contains 88% of the moisture, while rich in calcium, vitamin D, protein, and probiotics that maximize the effect of concentrated lactic acid bacteria. It is better to mix yogurt and apple, peach and carrot which are high in moisture content and make soft drink such as smoothie. In addition, kiwi, pear, spinach, watermelon, celery, and cucumber are considered to be healthy foods that maintain the moisture of our body.

In summer, many people are cold water rushing in cold water after work or after dinner. In fact, cold water is cool and good right now, but it can interfere with sleep. When the skin temperature is lowered by cold water, our body contracts the blood vessels to keep the body temperature constant and excites the sympathetic nerves. When the sympathetic nerves are excited, the heart rate is increased, the blood pressure is increased, and the sweat is increased. Hot water also shrinks the blood vessels to prevent external heat from entering the bloodstream. The temperature of the water is most suitable for warmth. There is a difference in the temperature of the water that everyone feels lukewarm, so you can find a suitable temperature that you can sleep comfortably after bathing.
