Protect Yourself From the Dangers of the Hot

We all want wine because it's hot. Yet, it also has negative sides

Sun and high temperatures during the day especially endanger the health of elderly and vulnerable people.

Ambitious, amateur, even professional athletes are vulnerable to heat injuries. These include temperature adaptation disorders (burning from the sun and heat), lack of fluids and electrolytes as a result of high perspiration (heat - heat noises), and a functioning disorder conditioned by blood vessels in which a critical drop in blood pressure occurs (heat balls).

Faster the Unspoiled

The risk of damage from heat to everyday life is mainly for over-emmotivated and previously untrained athletes “who, with their personal ambition, always want to go to limit“. Especially delicate are older ones, since they have a sense of thirst weaker than young people, and the temperature arrangement in them works harder. Blood circulation in extreme conditions thus makes you feel weaker. Also at risk are people with heart circulation problems, such as hypertension and the central nervous system, such as seizures.

Some drugs can also increase the risk of heat disease. These include diuretics, antihistamines, and antidepressants, which affect perspiration under certain conditions. Other risk factors are overweight, overexervation (at athletes) and bad clothing.

Preventing heat damage

High temperatures are recommended to avoid tiring activities. Gardening or sporting activities should be planned for the early morning and evening hours. The important thing is to drink as much fluid as possible. Particularly for the elderly is it: Drink even when you don't feel thirsty. It is also recommended that fresh fruits and vegetables be consumed easily and with water content. A loose garment and a light hat that allows ventilation prevents heat jam.

At high temperatures, athletes must take frequent vacations to cool off and reduce the length and intensity of training, such as just half an hour of free walking or slow running instead of an hour. Functional clothing and a hat that allows ventilation guarantee a pleasant skin sense.

Disorders from the lack of fluids are eliminated by constantly drinking liquids in small amounts before and during training -- every ten to fifteen minutes. Ideal is mineral water without carbon dioxide and electrolytic fluids. After training, go into the shade immediately, and possibly as soon as you take a shower of hot or cold water.

What should be done in case of an emergency?

In the case of a heat shock, an urgent refreshment is required. The touch should be brought into the shade immediately, or into a cool room, clothing should be opened and put in cold, white compresses on your head.

Inform a doctor or an emergency in any case, since the patient should be hospitalized as soon as possible.
