The effect of heat, cardiovascular disease

We dream that summer will come soon, almost nine months a year. But it is only necessary to pass the mercury column mark at 25 degrees, grabbing the head and remembering with longing for more comfortable temperatures. How does the heat effect, cardiovascular diseases of what type occur in the hot season?

Heat acts on the veins destructively, ultraviolet rays reduce the elasticity of tissues and venous walls, and a golden tan can not mask the blue capillary nets. Therefore, try to stay in the shadows all the time; let's rest the legs, laying under them one or two pillows; do contrast dousing, alternately showering your feet with warm and cool water from the shower; Use every opportunity to walk barefoot on sand, pebbles, grass, and for want of such a possibility, go to the place in a tub with cool water; sign into the pool or swim in natural water bodies; give up pulling pantyhose and high heels; get rid of excess weight; take venotonics, after consulting with your doctor. Hot weather, as a rule, people with oily skin suffer badly: due to increased allocation of fat, inflammation can develop. Cleanse the skin with damp cloths, limit the use of makeup. It is better to give up tonal creams, since they create a film on the surface of the skin, under which fat accumulates, and confine it to loose powder - it dries slightly. It should be remembered that air-conditioned air dries out the skin, so drink more mineral water and moisten the face and neck of the thermal. Going out to the street, use a cream with a high degree of protection and hide your face from the sun: direct rays lead to the rapid withering of the skin and promote its premature aging. The heat in the middle zone of Europe is very hard to bear. Especially - the townspeople. But, by following a few simple instructions, you can avoid serious consequences.

In summer, when there is a lot of sunlight, you should use different variants of glasses and lenses. For those who do not see well, photochromic lenses are recommended, which are darkened in the street, depending on the number of falling UV rays and are brightened in a room where there is no ultraviolet. This means that in the same glasses with photochromic lenses you will be comfortable in the office and at home, as they perform both sunscreen and cortical roles. It is also possible to apply a tint coating to lenses with diopters, which to some extent already interfere with the passage of UV rays. You can choose the color you like, and then the glasses will look like sunscreen. But this method is not always 100% protection against UV rays.

For such cases in optics, there is an additional service - application of a protective layer, which will bring the degree of blocking the ultraviolet to a maximum. The polarization lenses with diopters have an indisputable advantage. In addition to UV protection, they, like shutters, limit the passage of bright light and reflected rays from wet and smooth surfaces (water, snow, car hoods and wet roads). They do not have a blinding effect. Those who prefer contact lenses, you can advise lenses with UV protection. And if you wear more and sunglasses, then the delicate skin of the eyelids will be protected from premature aging. When choosing sunglasses, people with good eyesight should determine how comfortable the glasses are, how tightly they fit, whether they press on the bridge of the nose and behind the ears. Polarizing lenses in sunglasses will also be with additional protection. It should be noted that the lenses can be glass or plastic. Glass is harder to scratch, and plastic is less traumatic, thinner and lighter. Drivers and athletes are not allowed to wear glass lenses. If it seems to you that the air is thickening, then this condition is caused by the so-called weather hypoxia. When the sun is at its zenith, it's harder to breathe. Our vessels even work in a healthy state under stress.

However, this is strictly dose-dependent effect - the smaller the dose of ethinyl estradiol in the preparation, the more minimized this effect. The evolution of the development of hormonal contraceptives clearly reflects the tendency to reduce the dose. For example, the amount of estrogen in the vaginal ring, to date, is minimal compared to all hormonal contraceptives. In addition, there are currently contraceptives that do not contain estrogens. The presence of coronary heart disease, hypertension, thromboembolic diseases in the anamnesis and now will be a contraindication for the use of hormonal contraceptives in principle. Changes in relatively healthy women do not require the abolition of contraceptive drugs. In summer, especially in the heat, it is better to avoid complex removals - wisdom teeth, multi-rooted molars. Of course, in case of inflammation, one should not hesitate, but it is better to postpone planned operations. The fact is that blood clots that fill the wound cavity can lead to repeated bleeding, and this can result in inflammation of the socket, alveolitis, which require frequent washing with antiseptics.

Abundant sweating in the heat leads to the fact that the salt contained in the salt accumulates on the surface of the skin and causes irritation, and then inflammation - dermatitis. Basically, dermatitis occurs in the folds of the body in fat people. Against the background of the incessant inflammatory process, the process of hyperpigmentation begins. It should: take a cool shower, diligently dilute the problem with a towel; Only once a day use a mild detergent, discard scrubs, etc. Usually, in hot weather, people suffering from increased or decreased pressure, overweight. Nevertheless, anyone, even a healthy person, should know a few simple rules to avoid complications during the hot season. The first thing you should always remember: in the heat in the body there is a loss of fluid, which should be replenished. Be sure to drink at least 1.5 liters of fluid per day. However, if you drink more, then with hypertension, it will overload the cardiovascular system. Moreover, along with the liquid, the body will begin to lose useful salts, and there will be swelling. Among the drinks, preference is given to water - both conventional and mineral, cool teas of weak brewing (preferably with lemon), freshly squeezed juices, sour-milk products. Categorically do not recommend carbonated drinks (especially with high sugar content), coffee and caffeinated drinks, alcohol. The latter not only expand the vessels, causing a load on the heart, but also contribute to the release of heat from the body and "overheating". During the day, try to adhere to a certain "drinking regime". In the morning - before and after breakfast - tea, coffee, water or juice you can drink as much as you want.

To quench your thirst, try to prepare a vitamin drink of 8 liters of water, 1 glass of sugar and 4 sliced ​​lemons (you can replace them with sour apples or plums). All this must be welded, carefully filtered and cooled. It is also advisable to switch to a "light" diet. Eat raspberries (it dilutes blood), more vegetables and fruits. Do not abuse salty foods, as it causes thirst, and excessive amounts of absorbed liquid lead to increased pressure. Do not snack on the go, do not prepare food for future use, because the food spoils quickly, and the danger of food poisoning is great. Never leave perishable food outside the cold for more than 4 hours.
