in today’s society, the best choice for most people to fight the continuous hot and muggy weather is air conditioning, especially on weekends without work, lying on the sofa blowing air conditioning, which is really cool, but there are many hidden dangers. Let’s take a look with you.
What are the wrong ways to relieve summer heat?
1. Eating cold drinks and blowing air conditioner
in fact, a small amount of cold drinks and other related foods can not only help the human body relieve summer heat and cool down, but also delight the mood. However, there are some bad behaviors that need to be vigorously attacked. If everyone likes to eat cold and cold food without restrictions, it can only be refreshing for a while, but it will have a huge burden on the human digestive system, especially the gastrointestinal system, which is easy to lead to the damage of gastric mucosa or the development of gastrointestinal diseases.
2, excessive addiction to barbecue and other large-scale food
in summer, there are also various large-scale food stalls with fire. Street snacks such as kebabs, crayfish, spicy hot and beer have become people’s favorite. These foods are generally spicy and delicious, which gives people a heavy stimulation to their meager appetite in summer. Indeed, an appropriate amount of spicy food can stimulate people’s appetite, but we need to pay attention to the amount of food. Once excessive, it will have an adverse impact on health. Heavy food can stimulate human taste buds more than light food, and will also bring damage to gastrointestinal mucosa. It is suggested that summer dinner must pay attention to moderation, especially away from those high calorie and high-fat foods, so as not to increase the running load of pancreas and produce pancreatitis.
3. I can’t live without air conditioning
. I indulge in relying on air conditioning for cooling, especially indoor sleep with low air conditioning temperature. The temperature of the air conditioner needs to be adjusted according to its own bearing capacity. Don’t pursue too low temperature. It’s better to be comfortable. It can also be adjusted higher when sleeping at night.
4. Without quilt
the temperature drops sharply at night and the air conditioning temperature is too low. In addition to adjusting the air conditioning temperature, you should also keep yourself warm. Should not blindly pursue too low temperature, everything does not affect health as the standard.
5. Staying up too late
in summer, people generally go to bed late, and even some people go to bed too late. This practice is not worth advocating. The harm of staying up late to the human body is irreversible, and the damage to the human immune ability can not be ignored. Once you often stay up late, all kinds of diseases may haunt you.
6. Do not pay attention to hygiene
in hot weather, the shelf life of food will be significantly shortened. After eating expired moldy food, it may cause gastrointestinal diseases, with symptoms such as severe vomiting, dizziness, nausea, low fever, etc.
six mistakes listed above & ldquo; Posture & rdquo;, I believe many of us have done it unconsciously, so we should be more vigilant and correct these wrong practices in order to spend a healthy and harmonious summer.
Learn correct and reasonable summer vacation in summer
1. Eat less and eat more meals. Eat more liquid food
the more you eat in a meal, the more metabolic calories your body produces in order to digest these foods. Pay special attention to eat less high protein foods, which produce more metabolic calories.
2. Eat spicy food
although it is hard to imagine eating these things in a hot day, spicy food can stimulate the heat receiver in the mouth and improve blood circulation.
3. Warm water shower
shower or shower with warm water slightly lower than body temperature, especially before going to bed.
4. Stay in the basement
. Generally, the temperature in the basement will be 10 to 15 degrees lower than that in high-rise buildings.
5. Pull the curtain indoors
. Pull the curtain to prevent heat from entering and prevent the formation of greenhouse.
6. Drink more warm water and less frozen drinks
drink less (iced beer), because alcohol may cause water shortage. In addition, coffee or cola and other caffeinated drinks should also be drunk as little as possible, which will increase the metabolic calories in the body. If you sweat a lot in summer, you can drink some light sugar water or light salt water to supplement the organic matter lost in the body and the salt and minerals discharged due to sweating. The best way is to drink fruit juice and sports drinks. Do not swallow salt particles without a doctor’s permission. Mineral water or low sugar soda is a better choice.
7. Women choose aloe products
. Use cold aloe oil instead of moisturizing cream, which can reduce skin temperature sooner or later.
8. Slow down
avoid strenuous activities, which will activate body energy and increase internal temperature. If you have the habit of running, you’d better run when the temperature is relatively low before 7 a.m.
