Adaptive capabilities of a person depend on lifestyle

A person's response to an increase in temperature depends on the adaptive capabilities of the body, - says Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor at the Institute of Cardiology of the Academy of Medical Sciences. Strazhesko Anatoly Dear. - If they are normal, then a person may not feel temperature fluctuations or deviations will be insignificant. When the body is weakened, and we, unfortunately, many people are in such a state, they feel weakness, lethargy, general relaxation sets in - both mental and muscular. Worse for those who have certain diseases. People who have pressure drops do not tolerate heat well: hypertensive patients may have a hypertensive crisis, hypotensive patients lose pressure even more. In hot weather, the number of visits to doctors increases dramatically.

There is no pill that increased the adaptive capabilities of the body, as Anatoly Petrovich says. It all depends on the lifestyle, this is a multiple procedure: you need to eat rationally, move a lot, go to bed not when you want, but after sunset, and wake up after sunrise like that. However, according to the professor, it is possible to make life easier for yourself in the heat, to minimize risks, according to the professor. To do this, you need to drink a lot of liquid in small sips. For those who have cardiovascular disease, also. You can not bring the body to a feeling of thirst. Most of the water at high temperatures is excreted not through the kidneys, but through the skin. You need to drink often, better tea with lemon, fruit compote, compote, fruit drink.

At lunchtime, everyone, without exception, should take a nap, especially the elderly, children and the sick. This will help to establish the biological computer of the body, because in 16 hours (so long human activity lasts) it will become out of balance and cannot withstand the load.

Often people who have been taking medication for a long time take a break and stop taking it. This cannot be done. Some patients in hot weather even need to increase the dose, but this must be agreed with the doctor.

It is very important to limit physical activity, as a lot of heat is generated in the muscles that work. During such a period, emotional comfort is important, because during stress the body also produces a lot of heat. Before you worry for one reason or another, you should consider whether this problem is worth your worries, because they accelerate blood clotting and the risk of sudden death.

Pay attention to clothes. It should be made of natural fabrics, lightweight, which is ventilated so as not to interfere with the evaporation of water and heat loss. Better - a cotton suit that does not fit the body. Everyone will need hats, scarves, especially those who spend a lot of time outdoors.

Becoming Vegetarian

When the temperature approaches 30 degrees, it is worth reviewing your diet and excluding protein foods (meat, fish, poultry) from it, says nutritionist, doctor of the highest category Boris Skachko. - Eggs and dairy products can be left, as they do not speed up the metabolism and do not warm. And when the thermometer rises as high as 33 degrees, then it is worth giving up eggs. At this temperature, it is necessary to switch to a vegetarian diet: fruits, vegetables, berries. Berries - especially, as they supply the body with moisture, which contributes to cooling.

Boris Glebovich advises on hot days to give up any immunostimulants - tinctures of ginseng, eleutherococcus, Rhodiola rosea, Chinese magnolia vine, etc. As well as coffee, since caffeine increases metabolism.

In the heat, to cool the body, you should drink hot tea with lemon. After one cup, you will not feel the desired effect, after the second, too, but after the third, powerful sweating will take place, the body will cool down, and in a 30-degree heat you will feel as if it is only 20-22 ° outside the window. Calories are burned, heat is emitted. No need to drink tea for those who do not know how to get rid of caffeine. If a person drank tea with caffeine in the heat, on the one hand, her water evaporates and cooling continues, on the other hand, caffeine speeds up the metabolism, and the body overheats. Therefore, when brewing tea, be sure to put some soda in the teapot.

Beer, according to Boris Glebovich, is very difficult to quench your thirst. After all, it significantly increases the formation of urine, which also contributes to the thickening of the blood. And the presence of "fast" calories in alcohol also increases the formation of heat.

When virtual games are useful

Children do not tolerate high temperatures very well. They become lethargic, irritable, refuse to eat, often pick up various ailments. How to help them?

Children can hardly endure the heat, because they are very mobile, they cannot sit still, so they overheat easily and quickly, notes v. about. the chief pediatrician of Lvov, Vera Kaprus. - There is a lot of water in the child's body (the younger the person, the more water). Therefore, more moisture is needed to compensate for losses. It is important that parents control how much liquid a son or daughter drinks. If they drink little, you should think about how to flood their body. On hot days, children should be given compote, juice, compote, a lot of fruits, berries.

Children cannot sit still. Since physical activity (running, jumping, etc.) produces heat, it is worthwhile to come up with less active games for them. This is the case when you can allow an unpopular method of spending your leisure time, for example, watching cartoons, sitting at a computer, but within the limits of what is permitted. Let them play virtual games than real ones. In a cool room, conditions are more comfortable for them than on the street, because in an open space, children can get both heatstroke and sunshine. On the street, children should wear light clothes and be sure to wear a hat and scarf.

Air conditioning is not a panacea

Now in many apartments, offices there are air conditioners that save from stuffy air. But at the same time, people complain that when the electric coolers are on, they often get sick with tonsillitis, SARS, even pneumonia. And doctors do not advise resorting to it for two main reasons.

First. Air conditioners set the temperature to very low on hot days. There is a range of thermal comfort: from 18 to 24 degrees. Everyone is trying to put on 18 °, not knowing that by doing this they only harm themselves. When outside the window is 32 ° C and above, and even more in the sun, then with a very large temperature difference, the respiratory system does not withstand. Therefore, it is necessary to set the air conditioner at such a temperature that the contrast with the one outside the window is not too large, that is, by 24 degrees. The second reason is that the air conditioner dries the air, so people's mucous membranes dry up, because at a low temperature you don’t want to drink, and the lungs dry out quickly, pneumonia develops in the bronchi. Therefore, when the air conditioner is on, you must definitely drink a lot, even if you do not feel thirsty. But clean water, because it increases the viscosity of the blood, and tea, juices, compotes, there are borscht, soups, etc.

How to escape in a stuffy apartment? Doctors advise putting water into the bath, dropping a few drops of eucalyptus or sea buckthorn oil into it, or pouring in a little decoction of lime blossom or any other herbs, soak a blanket in this water and hang it on the front or balcony door. And in the room at that time open the window and make a small draft. Air movement and aromatherapy will help you breathe easier.

On hot days, it's best to walk to or from work. Therefore, a trip in transport is a risk: there is usually enough air in the cabin. In addition, some passengers ask to open windows, hatches, others, on the contrary, require them to be closed, because a sweaty body easily catches diseases.

Both one and the other are not in favor of passengers. Since with open windows you can catch meningitis, sciatica, at best - a runny nose. And when closed - lack of air, passengers can lose consciousness. Therefore, when you still have to drive in the heat, you should open the windows. Passenger bodies evaporate moisture, and increased humidity is created in the enclosed space. And this immediately increases the load on the heart, blood vessels in all people, without exception. In such situations, heart attacks and strokes often occur. Therefore, stock up on napkins so that your sweaty forehead is not wet. And those who are afraid of drafts should change places with those passengers who prefer a breath of fresh air.

It's the hottest time of the year. Asphalt in cities traditionally melts from the heat, megacities slowly melt under the scorching heat, and its unfortunate inhabitants must not only survive in this hell, but also continue to work, take care of themselves and their loved ones and keep the bar of success.

If you, like thousands of other people, feel unwell on hot days, then these tips from a Chinese medicine doctor will help you cope with the malaise.

It is known that human emotional reactions affect the functioning of internal organs. Heat in Chinese medicine is considered not only as a phenomenon of the external environment, but can also be an internal factor. Internal heat negatively affects primarily, it is precisely this that suffers at high temperatures.

If at the same time a person experiences emotional overload, then the cardiovascular system is at even higher risk.

Increased internal heat combined with external heat gives rapid heartbeat, changes in blood pressure, headache, weakness. How to determine the intensity of internal heat?

Examine the tongue in front of the mirror, the heart zone is localized at its tip. If the tip has a bright red surface or there are red dots on it, this indicates the presence of "heat in the heart."

The balance can be restored through nutrition, drinks, proper exercise and therapeutic methods.

Eat foods from the "cool" and "cold" groups


According to the classification of Chinese medicine, all foods are divided into five groups - hot, warm, neutral, cool and cold.

Naturally, in the heat, you need to reduce the consumption of hot nature products (meat - lamb, lamb, ham, salami, active seasonings, spices - hot pepper, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, curry), which shift energy processes towards heat.

It is best to balance the condition with cold and cool foods: wheat, wheat germ, barley, millet, wild rice, duck, goose, hare, rabbit, fish, squid, oyster, Chinese and cauliflower, broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, cucumbers , tomatoes, asparagus, radish, watercress, artichoke, avocado, rhubarb, celery, spinach, soy, tofu, soy milk and sauce, sunflower, sesame, olive oil, beans, peas, cashews, saffron, mushrooms, yogurt, banana , persimmon, kiwi, lime, tangerine, lemon, orange, grapefruit, gooseberry, apple, blueberry, blackberry, currant, watermelon, melon, mango, pear, mint, pineapple, quince, raspberry, strawberry. It is especially important to consider this classification for people who have "internal heat".

The temperature of the food also matters: the dish you take out of the fridge certainly has a cooling effect.

Drink small portions throughout the day

In the heat, sweating becomes more intense, and it is necessary to replenish the amount of fluid, because all biochemical processes in the human body occur in the aquatic environment.

If it is usually considered that it is enough to drink one and a half to two liters of water during the day, then in hot weather the need may increase. The simplest indicator of a lack of fluid in the body is a change in the color of urine. Normally, it should have a light straw color and becomes darker, the more the body needs water.

Thus, it is possible to individually adjust the amount of fluid you drink, focusing not on some general norms, but primarily on an individual need, which depends on age, gender, metabolic characteristics, and physical activity.

Those who stay in the heat for a long time and sweat intensely should introduce mineral water into their diet to compensate for the leaching of minerals and trace elements.

Carry a bottle of water with you throughout the day and drink regularly, in small doses. But after 7 pm you should not drink too much to.

Another very important question: what kind of water to drink? If you have a choice between spring water, tap water, and bottled water, bottled water is the smartest choice.

Rather - from a large dense bottle. Please note: bottles made of thin plastic, on which white creases easily appear, release substances into the water that are similar in effect to female sex hormones and can negatively affect the cycle. Therefore, choose water in bottles with thick walls that do not have kinks, it is better to use glass containers.

If you drink water from a country well or spring, it makes sense to take the water for analysis and find out its composition.

The best choice is cold drinks. Hot tea in summer will increase perspiration and thus cool the surface of the body by increasing evaporation. Very cold drinks can trigger a sore throat.

From European doctors, you can sometimes hear the following recommendation: if you often have swelling in hot weather, you need to drink less

From the point of view of a doctor who takes a synergistic approach to, such advice seems strange. First of all, it is necessary to find out why water is retained in the body and edema occurs - it can be in the condition of the veins of the lower leg, liver, kidneys, in the work of the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, in the imbalance of minerals and trace elements.

It is clear that if the fluid is not excreted, then an imbalance has occurred in the body. From the point of view of Chinese medicine, it is often necessary to observe the retention of fluids in the body as a result of the "spleen deficiency" syndrome. The syndrome develops as a result of intellectual and physical overwork, excessive anxiety and worry, as well as the predominance of "mucus-forming" foods in the diet.

Diet correction, herbal preparations, acupuncture can eliminate the "spleen deficiency" syndrome, reduce or completely eliminate excessive swelling.

Don't give up physical activity

But make normal mode reasonable restrictions. Although naturally, when we run, the surface cools down if a person has normal thermoregulation. It is necessary to make adjustments to the usual mode of physical activity.

Not under the scorching sun, indoors, morning or evening.

Avoid sudden changes in temperature

If from the heat you find yourself in a room where the temperature is maintained at 18-19 degrees, you can get the so-called "cold blow". In the heat, the pores open and our body becomes more susceptible to various pathogenic factors.

The risk of developing diseases of the upper respiratory tract increases, because the body is protected from natural pathogenic factors by the Qi energy of the lungs. And if the cold penetrates first into the skin, then into the muscles, then due to the temperature difference, inflammation of the muscles (myositis) may occur. So avoid direct cold airflow from cooling systems.

In his struggle for survival, a person always faces a lot of problems. And one of them is how to keep warm in winter and how not to overheat in summer. The onset of heat always affects our health. Hot weather is exhausting, efficiency drops, appetite worsens, heart disease makes itself felt, and general discomfort does not add energy. In about a week, the body can adapt to new temperature conditions, but even in this case, no one is guaranteed against the breakdown of this adaptation.
In countries where heat is a common phenomenon, people have a wealth of experience on how to endure it with minimal losses. We will try to systematize this experience in order to protect ourselves in conditions of even a very hot summer. There are a few simple rules, the observance of which will make it easier to survive the heat.

Survival rules when it's +30°C outside

  • The best solution is air conditioning. In rooms where it is, the question of overheating is not worth it. However, you should not get carried away with its capabilities and set it to the minimum temperature. After all, a sharp change in temperature is also a burden on an already exhausted body. Where there is no air conditioning, it is advisable to use a fan. It will ensure the movement of air and improve the heat transfer of the body. In the absence of a fan, a slight draft can be created in the room.
  • If possible, it is good to be near natural reservoirs or fountains, where you can always wash yourself with cool water or swim. People suffering from cardiovascular diseases should avoid contrast cooling, because. this can cause vasospasm and provoke an attack of angina pectoris.
  • Long transitions in hot weather are recommended to be carried out in cooler hours of the day in light porous clothing, stop more often and rest in shady ventilated places.
  • Try to find a place in the shade. You should be especially careful in the sun at noon, when the temperature is at its highest.
  • It is advisable to have an umbrella or a fan with you.
  • Minimize physical activity.
  • Clothing should be light-colored (light-colored clothing reflects rather than absorbs heat), light and airy (for good ventilation). Also, clothes must be clean, because. in sweated salt clogs between the fibers of the fabric and the body will not breathe. The fabric must be natural. If possible, do not use ties and tight belts, refuse collars squeezing the throat.
  • A light, light, wide-brimmed, neck-covering hat protects well from overheating. The fact is that in the area of ​​the head and neck close to the surface of the skin there are many blood vessels, due to the heating of which the whole body can overheat.

What is the best way to quench your thirst
In hot weather, it is extremely important to maintain a normal water content in the body. The basic principles of the drinking regime are as follows:

  • In hot weather, the body needs 1.5-2 times more fluid than in the cold season. So at an average air temperature of + 21 ° C, you need to consume about 1.5 liters of fluid per day, and at a temperature of + 32 ° C - about 3 liters.
  • Drinks should be cool, but not icy, because. cold drinks begin to be absorbed only when they warm up to body temperature.
  • The best choice for summer drinks is chilled green and white tea, teas based on mint and hibiscus flowers, mineral water, kvass, kefir, ayran, fruit jelly, rosehip infusion and dried fruit decoction, water with lemon.
  • Drinks are better to choose a little sour.
  • All drinks should be unsweetened or only lightly sweetened.
  • In hot weather, juices and fresh juices are best drunk diluted.
  • Dairy products should be low-fat (1-1.5%).
  • Perfectly cool watermelon and cucumber. You can make juice from them.
  • With intense sweating, to restore the water-salt balance, drink lightly salted water (5 g of salt per 1 liter of water). You can use special rehydration solutions from pharmaceutical products - Regidron, Glucosolan, Citroglucosolan.
  • It is recommended to drink in small portions of 100-200 ml every 30-40 minutes.
  • During physical exertion, you need to drink every 20 minutes, regardless of whether there is thirst.

In order to check if the body is getting enough water, pay attention to the color of the urine. Normally, with sufficient fluid intake, urine will be light yellow. Dark urine is a sign of dehydration.

What and how best to eat in the heat
One of the most important conditions for “surviving” in the heat is optimal nutrition.
On hot days, the need for energy decreases by about 5-10%, which means that the body needs less high-calorie food. In summer, appetite and digestibility of food also decrease, and people reflexively switch to lighter foods. Given that food is a source of energy for us and increases metabolism with the formation of heat, proper nutrition in the heat is very important. So, the basic rules:

  • Due to the heat, it is better to transfer the main meal to the evening hours and observe approximately the following distribution of food throughout the day: for breakfast - 30%, for lunch - 25%, for dinner - 45% of the daily diet. Meat and fish dishes are best consumed for breakfast or dinner. In conditions of coolness, it will be easier for the body to digest them.
  • The diet should be balanced. So, proteins (meat, poultry, fish, dairy products) should be about 15%, fats (vegetable and animal) - no more than 11-12%. Carbohydrates account for the rest.
  • Nutrition should be fractional, in small portions and, in the presence of appetite, frequent - 5-6 times a day, so as not to cause a rush of large volumes of blood to the internal organs that are involved in the digestion of food.
  • Food should be light and cool with a high moisture content. It is recommended to eat dairy products, vegetables, fruits and other juicy foods more often. Summer products number 1 - fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, salad vegetables, young potatoes, which are 70 - 90% water. In addition to being a source of fluid, vitamins and minerals for the body, they also take away excess heat, having cool properties.
  • It is very important that food helps to maintain the constancy of the internal environment of the body. In the heat, the acid-base balance of the body shifts to the “sour” side - acidosis develops, in which the normal course of all physiological processes is disturbed, weakness appears and efficiency decreases. Therefore, the body needs components that have an alkaline valence and maintain an alkaline blood reaction. All vegetables, fruits, milk are products in which the alkaline equivalent prevails. All citrus fruits, despite the sour taste, have an alkalizing effect. Protein products (meat, fish, cheese), fats, nuts, all cereals, sugar contain acid radicals and oxidize the internal environment of the body. Thus, alkalizing products maintain the acid-base balance of the blood. Due to this, they increase the adaptive capacity of the body in extreme conditions.
  • Limit intake of protein and fatty foods. In those countries where the heat is usually strong and lasts for a long time, doctors recommend either not eating meat, animal fats, smoked and spicy, or eating very little of them. This is due to the so-called specific dynamic action of food (SDA). This term is understood as an increase in heat production during the intake of various types of food. Moreover, the maximum heat production is observed when eating fatty and protein foods. Normally, this heat maintains body temperature, which is actively used by northern peoples. In fact, DDS of food is the energy costs for the transport, digestion, absorption and assimilation of nutrients.
  • In the heat, special attention must be paid to the freshness and purity of products, because. in summer they deteriorate faster and intestinal infections occur more often. Therefore, it is necessary to wash vegetables, fruits and herbs well. It is better to completely refuse confectionery products with cream. All products should be stored in the refrigerator.

Conclusions, which foods should be eaten in the heat, and which ones should be avoided
1. Eat as little as possible "warming" and "drying" foods: fats, fatty meats, spices, spicy foods, legumes, fast food chain products, sweets and muffins. Replace fatty meats or fish with lean ones.
2. Preference to give vegetables and fruits:
- fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, salad vegetables, young potatoes;
- watermelons and melons, citrus fruits, berries, peaches, apricots, apples.
3 Salads are best seasoned with vegetable oil or low-fat yogurt.
4. Cottage cheese and kefir should be low-fat.
5. Cold soups are the perfect summer meal. It can be okroshka, cold lean borscht, gazpacho, etc. Summer soups are almost always made sour - okroshka on kvass or kefir with lemon juice, and gazpacho on tomatoes. This is no coincidence, because. acid, irritating the taste buds in the mouth, causes increased salivation, as a result of which the dry mouth disappears and the heat does not seem so debilitating.
6. Ice cream or a fruit smoothie will help cool you down at noon.

In the heat is prohibited!
Use substances that affect the functioning of the body's thermoregulation system. These are alcohol, sugary carbonated drinks, light drinks, sugary drinks with a small amount of juice containing sweeteners and preservatives, energy tonics, caffeinated products (black tea and coffee should be avoided), aspirin and other antipyretics.

If you can't install an air conditioner, buy at least a floor fan. Yes, it drives warm air in the room, but at least it cools a little. If there is no space (and there are those who are disturbed by the fan), put a small cooler on the table or get a USB fan powered by a computer or laptop.

    In hot weather it is very important to drink a lot. Not necessarily very cold, it is important that the body does not suffer from a lack of moisture. You can make homemade lemonade and drink it with ice, or you can drink your favorite tea in liters. Cold soups are good too!

    Eat less spicy, fatty and smoked, give up alcohol.

    A good way is to take a cool shower (and if it is a contrast, then this is good for health). If possible, this can be done at least five times a day.

    To increase the humidity in the room, you can use a humidifier or wet towels. Exposed areas of the body can be moistened with cool water. Then the dry heat will be easier to bear.

    Wear light clothing made from natural fabrics.

    Cover sunny windows with blinds or curtains.

    Pour water into a small spray bottle and spray on your face and hands.

    Make sure that there are pills in the house for ailments that are ill at home. In the heat, many people have high blood pressure, there may be heart problems or a headache.

How to survive the heat

Taking into account the peculiarities of the weather, it is best, of course, to find an opportunity to install air conditioning. Especially if the family has heart problems or they do not tolerate heat well.

To save money, put the air conditioner out of season (for example, in autumn, so as not to freeze during installation in winter), choose not the most powerful, but the company is better known. By the way, not Samsung and Panasonic are listed among air conditioner manufacturers, but Daikin, Gree and Mitsubishi. Many stores give interest-free installments and even installation as a gift, so you can save a lot.

But if there is no money for a full-fledged air conditioner, you can put a floor-standing one - with a pipe outside or even without it. They are usually cheaper even in season, and cool well. True, they consume a lot of electricity, but wall-mounted devices also feed on them.

Summer is a long-awaited and beloved time of the year! It would seem that nothing can overshadow these wonderful summer days when it is warm, fresh and green outside the window. However, high air temperature, heat and stuffiness can cause a lot of trouble, discomfort and problems to some categories of people. It is not always comfortable at this time of the year for people suffering from chronic diseases, as well as the elderly, pregnant, lactating women, and, of course, young children. How to endure the heat and what to do to maintain good health, take care of your health and just have a good time in the summer - we will try to answer in this article, describing a few basic rules of behavior in the heat.

How to beat the heat outside:

Of course, it is best to completely abandon being outside between 12 am and 5 pm, when the sun's rays are most active. But if this is not possible:

1. Be sure to take care of your head and dress for the weather. Cover your head with any headgear, be it a hat, cap, scarf or something else. All hats, like all clothing, should preferably only be made of natural fabric. Do not wear synthetics, as they do not allow air to penetrate and do not give off body heat. Wear open, loose, and preferably light-colored items made of linen, cotton, or silk.

2. Walk, especially if you are with children, in the shade and periodically wipe them with a damp cloth. To regain a sense of freshness - rub whiskey with menthol or mint oil and do not abuse deodorants and perfumes.

How to beat the heat indoors:

1. Today, it is almost no problem for anyone to buy and install an air conditioner in an apartment, house or office. Such modern equipment quickly cools the air to a comfortable temperature, and also maintains humidity. However, when using this miracle of civilization, never forget that you can’t suddenly enter a cold room from the heat. The temperature difference between the room and the street should not be more than 6 degrees.

2. If you do not have air conditioning at home, install blinds on the windows and close them before going outside. Light curtains and a reflective film pasted on the glass will also save you from the sun's rays.

3. Take small breaks during the working day. And on days when the air temperature rises too high - refuse to visit the bath, sauna and try to reduce any physical activity.

4. Arriving home, ventilate and humidify the room, even if just by spraying air or doing a wet cleaning. In order to tone up and get rid of fatigue after a working day, take a cool shower or simply wash your face and hands up to the elbows, rinse your feet if possible.

5. Often the heat and stuffy hours haunt us at night, preventing us from completely relaxing and falling asleep soundly. Therefore, go to bed in a ventilated or cooled room, leave one window open and try to lengthen your night's rest by at least half an hour.

A few more general rules on how to endure the heat:

1. On hot summer days, many people complain that their legs swell and swell. If you consider yourself one of those, try not to wear closed shoes and high heels, and at the end of the working day, give tired legs a contrast shower, mint baths or dousing.

2. In order to understand how to endure the heat without loss, you need to pay special attention to your diet. Reduce the intake of salty foods, if possible, refuse spicy, fatty, smoked and canned foods. The main foods in the heat should be: vegetable dishes, fruits, berries and greens. For dessert, instead of cakes and chocolate, eat raisins and dried apricots. These dried fruits, as well as tomato juice, perfectly maintain vascular tone and prevent sudden changes in blood pressure.

3. During hot and stuffy weather - drink more. In general, during such a period it is necessary to drink in an hour. In the heat, it perfectly refreshes, invigorates, and also quenches thirst with ordinary, non-carbonated pure water, especially with the addition of a small amount of lemon juice. It is good to drink cold green tea and cranberry fruit drinks. Unsweetened types of juices help more or less: apple, orange or grapefruit. The most effective drink is kefir.

When making a choice in the direction of a particular drink, keep in mind that too cold liquids linger in the human body longer than usual, provoke sweating, and the microelements contained in them slowly enter the cells. Therefore, in order to quench your thirst and saturate the body with moisture - drink warm drinks or drinks at room temperature.

Avoid alcohol, coffee and strong tea. But how to endure the heat, if for some reason you need to drink? Then, from the whole variety of such drinks, give preference to dry wine, preferably 1/3 diluted with water or light weak beer. But at the same time, remember that in hot weather the body reacts faster to alcohol, and gets drunk faster than usual.

4. During pregnancy, as well as people with heart failure, hypertension and kidney disease, unfortunately, you can’t drink a lot. What should they do? How to bear the heat? Such people just need to take a regular sprinkler with cool water with them for a walk and periodically sprinkle their face, elbows and knees, wrists, and also rinse their mouths as often as possible.
