To avoid overheating, it is important to avoid a sharp temperature difference and give up alcohol. Candidate of Medical Sciences Andrey Tyazhelnikov warned about this in a conversation with socialbites.ca.
“It is dangerous to turn on the air conditioner at low temperatures, especially after being in the heat, to cause drafts, to suddenly dive into cold water or to take a very cold shower, to drink ice-cold drinks in hot weather. In hot weather, I recommend you to go to parks and squares where trees and ponds provide shade and coolness. It is also important to avoid overeating in the heat and not to drink alcohol,” he said.
Tyazhelnikov noted that to make it easier to withstand the heat, you need to follow simple rules: avoid physical activity on very hot days and hours, wear a summer hat, loose, light-colored clothes made of natural fabrics, carry water with you and constantly drink in small portions. In the presence of chronic diseases, it is important to take the drugs prescribed by the doctor, monitor the pressure parameters. When inside, open windows, use fans and air conditioners to ensure constant air circulation, take cold showers more often.
