Heat Stroke Prevention to Protect Your Body! Causes and Solutions"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

The hot and humid summer has begun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we are happy that the rainy season has ended, we are also exhausted from the heat\u2026 Heat stroke is usually thought of as a condition that occurs outside, but in fact, heat stroke can occur indoors as well, depending on the conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, heat stroke can occur indoors as well, depending on the conditions. If you don’t take any countermeasures, the worst case scenario may be irreversible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, I would like to introduce the most important preventive measures against heat stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do people get heat stroke?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Heat stroke has two major causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Causes of Heat Stroke (1) Environment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u30fbHigh temperature, high humidity, and little wind.
\u30fbSunlight from the asphalt, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Causes of Heat Stroke (2) Physical condition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The human body temperature is usually maintained at 36 to 37 degrees Celsius. However, when exercising or being in a hot place, heat is produced in the muscles and the body temperature rises due to sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This causes the body to lose water and salt through perspiration, and the body temperature becomes uncontrollable, resulting in dizziness, headaches, and cramps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prevent Heat Stroke! Measures you can take right away<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Heat Stroke Prevention (1) Drink water even if you are not thirsty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Drink water frequently even if you are not thirsty. Sports drinks and other drinks containing salt and sugar are easily absorbed by the body. It is also important to be careful not to consume excessive amounts of salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat Stroke Prevention (2) Use of sunshade products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When going outside, wear a parasol or hat, and when it is hot, try to cool your body temperature by going into the shade without straining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat Stroke Prevention (3) Lower body temperature directly by showering or air conditioning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To regulate body temperature, cool yourself with a shower or wet towel, or use an air conditioner or fan instead of enduring the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What foods are good for preventing heat stroke?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When we sweat, salt is lost. At the same time, potassium is also eliminated with sweat. Potassium helps muscle function and is an important nutrient to consume when recovering from heat stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foods high in potassium include
Summer vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelons, molokheiya, bananas, sweet potatoes and other potatoes, and beans such as natto (fermented soybeans). Pork, which is also high in vitamin B1 and other nutrients, is also recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It will be a hot day with air conditioners not working well due to ventilation and masks due to coronavirus and other viruses. And although our appetite will decrease, we should not be afraid of heat stroke and viruses.
Let’s go outside, eating at least a well-balanced meal and taking all possible precautions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
