How to prevent heatstroke in summer

Heatstroke in summer

Heatstroke, also known as heat shock, is a condition of sudden increase in body temperature due to the body being exposed to a hot environment for a long time, leading to dysfunction of organs such as the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, nervous system, etc.

According to statistics, summer is the time when the number of heatstroke cases increases significantly. Especially, on extremely hot days, with temperatures above 39°C, the number of hospitalizations due to heatstroke can increase many times compared to normal.

Causes of heatstroke in summer

Direct exposure to sunlight for long periods of time: UV rays from sunlight directly affect the skin, increasing body temperature. When the body cannot regulate its temperature in time, it leads to heatstroke.

Dehydration: When working outdoors in hot conditions, the body loses water through sweat, leading to electrolyte imbalance, making it difficult for the body to regulate temperature.

Wear thick, tight clothing: Thick, tight clothing hinders the sweat evaporation process, causing the body to accumulate heat, leading to heatstroke.

Drink less water: Water plays an important role in regulating body temperature. When the body is not hydrated enough, it is susceptible to heatstroke.

Use of alcohol and stimulants: Alcohol and stimulants dilate blood vessels, causing the body to lose heat faster, leading to a higher risk of heatstroke.

Other factors: Health status, age, and medical history also affect the body's ability to tolerate heat.

Limit going out in the hot sun : You should go out in the early morning or late afternoon when the temperature has cooled down.

Wear loose, airy clothing : Choose light-colored clothing that absorbs sweat well.

Selenium supplementation : Selenium is considered a "shield" that protects the body, possessing strong antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals caused by UV rays from sunlight. You can supplement selenium through natural foods rich in selenium such as: seafood, liver and organs, mushrooms, cereal grains,...

Drink plenty of water : You should drink filtered water, fruit juice, oresol,... to rehydrate your body.

Avoid alcohol and stimulants: Alcohol and stimulants cause the body to lose more water, leading to a higher risk of heatstroke.

Cover up carefully when going out in the sun: Wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, use sunscreen,...

Add cooling foods: such as watermelon, squash, bitter melon,...

Vitamin supplements : Vitamin supplements will help you increase your resistance, improve your body's functions in general and increase your ability to withstand high temperatures in particular.
