During the hottest 20 days, what three precautions should we take?

The hot summer has entered the middle of the dog days.

We are having the 20 hottest days of the year.

Although there are three hottest periods in summer, the hottest is in the middle.

Through reasonable lifestyle and diet adjustments,

Fight the battle to protect your health.

Three defenses

Prevent heat stroke

10 am to 4 pm is a relatively hot period, so it is best not to do strenuous exercise, especially from 12 pm to 2 pm, which is the hottest period. It is recommended to stay indoors to avoid the heat.

In hot summer weather, the health-preserving principle should be "less movement and more rest".

It is best to exercise in the morning or evening when it is relatively cool.

Choose gentle exercises, such as Tai Chi, Ba Duan Jin, and jogging.

Stroke prevention

There are two types of stroke we often talk about.

Ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction) and hemorrhagic stroke (cerebral hemorrhage).

Especially the former is more common. The incidence of cerebral infarction in summer is higher than in mild weather.

If you sweat a lot and don't drink enough water, your blood will become concentrated.

Increased blood viscosity is an important cause of acute ischemic stroke, especially for the elderly with underlying diseases.

It is difficult for the elderly to adjust to excessive temperature differences.

The indoor temperature is more suitable between 25 and 27 degrees Celsius, not too high or too low.

Always keep a bottle of boiled water by your bedside and drink a few sips when you get up at night. This will help improve blood viscosity.

Avoid eating raw or cold foods, including cold drinks, iced fruits, etc.

After excessive sweating or diarrhea, you should replenish water in time.

The elderly should try to stay in cool indoor environments, and when going out, they must avoid direct sunlight.

To judge a stroke, you can use the "BE FAST" identification method to identify stroke symptoms immediately:

B: Balance, it is difficult for the body to maintain balance.

E：Eyes, eyes can’t see clearly.

F：Face, crooked face and crooked mouth corners.

A: Arms, arm weakness and asymmetrical arm raising.

S：Speech, unclear speaking and difficulty in expression.

T：Time, any of the above symptoms appear,

Call 120 for medical treatment immediately.
