The air temperature above 26 degrees Celsius is a very large load for any organism. It is especially hard to experience the heat of people with pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases, small children, who have not yet fully formed the mechanisms of thermoregulation. Excellent, if there is an opportunity to hide from the heat in the country. However, how to survive in the heat, if you can not escape the sun in the megacity regime?
Rural residents have more opportunities to hide from the heat or at least somehow ease their suffering in the shady forests or near water bodies, but the townspeople, as a rule, can not afford this. In addition, many people in the summer do things that are strictly forbidden from the medical point of view.
So, let's figure out what not to do, when the window is larger than +30 degrees. In the first place, you can not swim in cold stores and other water bodies. If the temperature of the water and air temperature has a difference of more than 10 degrees, then such bathing is very dangerous for our vessels.
Also, in this weather, one should not prepare food for a week in advance, as many women are used to doing. Remember that the shelf life is for normal normal conditions, and not for hot heat. In any case, do not buy food on trays that are not equipped with refrigerators. After all, you do not know how many products were on the shelves before you bought them.
Strictly prohibited in the heat of wearing a tightening and synthetic clothing. The view of hygiene of synthetics is very harmful to us, but the clothes that tightly tightens the body, hinders the process of heat exchange.
It is not surprising that the working capacity of a person is reduced several times. Air temperature, which rises after +26 degrees, with each degree reduces the performance of a person by 10%.
Experts strongly recommend not to enter sports in such a crazy heat. Physical loads in five increase the heat exchange, and dehydration can occur. If you still can not live without training, then you need to at least slightly reduce the load and drink plenty of water.
There are some rules that should be followed to protect against heat.
In the first place, mention should be made of weather hypoxia. After a sun or thermal shock, weather hypoxia is a danger even for the youngest healthy people. When the heat in the air is reduced the amount of oxygen, so it becomes difficult for a person to breathe. To somehow avoid this, in the hottest hours try not to go out - from 12.00 to 16.00.
If you still have to go out of the apartment with a draft or an office with air conditioning, then in advance, think about what you will wear. Girls are better dressers, light trousers, linen sarafans. Men should give up belts and ties. Well, of course, all clothes should be made of natural fabrics, perfectly suited to cotton and cotton, otherwise evaporation of moisture will not proceed with success.
In the heat, it is advisable not to use cosmetics, especially for tonal creams and powder. The skin is practically not breathing, so the face sweats heavily, which means that all make-up will not go down.
Water procedures are excellent for refreshing the foreseeing heat. It's not about you throwing everything and jumping into dirty ponds, no. Take a shower two, and then three times a day, rinse during the day more often face and hands, walk around the water - this is the minimum that you can and should do in such conditions. Specialists recommend to splash with thermal water or wash with mineral water.
It is very useful to visit the swimming pool in hot weather. Two or three times a week, an ideal option. It is not advisable to study on power simulators and treadmills. Remember that you are overloading your vessels in the heat. It is better to resort to exercises that can saturate the body with oxygen, for example, light aerobics, respiratory gymnastics or yoga.
A certain mode of the day will also become useful to you. Wake up early, and sleep with the sunset, so you'll wake up when there's still no heat on the street, and you can avoid headaches. It's not very pleasant, and it's not very useful to sleep when the scorching sun rays enter the room.
Doctors say that if possible, you need to walk and walk barefoot. Of course, not by hot asphalt, but by pleasant grass. We have a lot of dots on the soles of the feet, which are responsible for the internal organs. When we walk barefoot, we are driven to these points. The tone of the body is increased, the circulation of blood improves and even the cells are renewed.
If there is no air conditioner in the office, then it is necessary to put the tables on aquariums, even without fish, just with water. This will cause regular evaporation. It is even better if the room is sprayed with water from a spray gun.
10 rules that will help you escape from the heat
- Try to go out only after five o'clock in the evening and before midnight.
- Be sure to wear a hat.
- Wear light clothing from thin fabric.
- Do not wear in the heat of stone and metal jewelry - they serve as stimulants of reheat.
- If your work is connected to a car, then equip the machine with sunblinds, as well as a mirror screen on the windscreen.
- As you arrive at the office, go to the washstand, wash your face.
- If there is an air conditioner in the house or office, then do not put a low temperature, otherwise you can catch a cold. The best temperature is 20-22 degrees.
- If there is no air conditioner in the house, you can cover the windows with wet sheets - the heat will not penetrate more.
- Drink not a cold liquid, but a little chilled.
- Do not smoke. Nicotine raises blood pressure and narrows the blood vessels.
What you need to drink and eat
Lemon water. In the heat, sweat is very prominent, so we quickly lose moisture, while the vascular tone is rapidly weakened. With an average air temperature, you need to drink at least 1.5 liters of water a day, if the temperature exceeds 26 degrees, then you need to drink 1.9 liters of water, and more than 32 degrees - three liters. Lemonade is great for quenching thirst. In a bottle of still water, squeeze out the juice of one lemon.
Mineral. Throughout the day, drink mineral water. When carbon dioxide enters the mouth, a salivary secretion appears, dryness disappears and thirst disappears.
Juices. You need to drink juices, only not sweet - apple, cherry, quince, plum. Sweet juices do not quench your thirst.
Decoction of mint . Such a product can not only compensate for the loss of fluid, but also allow you to quickly fall asleep in the fire, and calm your nerves.
Fruits and vegetables . In solid fruits and vegetables, water is contained in the form of fiber. Therefore, when you eat a salad, you have an aquatic depot in your stomach. Most of the water in cucumbers, plums, cabbage, tomatoes, cherries and cherries.
A fish. Everyone knows that fish is a protein that quickly develops, so that it does not take much energy and energy to digest it.
Wine . Summer wine is a dry white wine, with less tannins and higher acidity. Dilute a glass of wine with water 1: 3, and treat yourself to them in the evening.
What is forbidden to drink, and eat in the heat
Lemonade. It has a lot of sugar, and this can increase the arterial pressure.
Alcohol. All alcoholic drinks, except for dry wine, lie in the body for a long time, while creating a great load for the patient.
Milk. In him a lot of protein, which remains for 4 hours in the stomach and prevents the absorption of the liquid, which is taken after it.
Coffee. Caffeine-safe for the cardiovascular system, which is already difficult in the heat.
Meat. For the digestion of meat, especially greasy, you need a big rush of heat, and in heat, ethones need the least.
What if you "welded"?
If you feel weak, tinnitus, blocking, headache and dizziness, then this is the first sign that you have a heat stroke. If you are not able to fight these symptoms, then there may be a loss of consciousness, a sudden increase in blood pressure and vomiting .
First of all, move to a cooler place, drink a glass of clean water (not mineral water), take off your clothes before linen, and apply a cold compress on your forehead. Also apply compresses to the places where large vessels pass - to the groin and armpits.
If in twenty minutes it will not become easier, then wet the sheet in cold water and wrap it yourself or pour yourself from the feet with water. If this did not help, then call an ambulance.
