Cold water will not save you from overheating.
There is a perception that it is very important to know how to drink water in the summer heat. This misconception! Despite the fact that the water in the cooling system of the body, perhaps the most active participant, the emphasis on the use of water in the summer heat is a direct road to the exacerbation of heart failure.
It is important to understand how the metabolism and cooling the body to health benefits and safe for my life to go the summer heat. In the organisms of warm-blooded animals, which include people, part of the food energy is dissipated as heat. This way, a constant body temperature, which provides the necessary level of metabolism.
To avoid overheating of the body, excess heat is removed with natural secrets. And the “regular” bowels and kidneys to a greater extent ensures the cleansing of the body. But active water evaporation from the skin and lungs allows the thermoregulation system to maintain the desired body temperature.
It is important to know that water is the thermal connection from those that a person uses daily. But even hot water can cause overheating of the body, and only slightly warmed the blood. The result of slight overheating is increased sweating. For this reason, cold water, ice water and other cold drinks and foods will not help to cool the body in summer heat. But there is a risk of reduced immunity in the throat and initial segments of the respiratory system. And at least with pharyngitis-tracheitis-bronchitis continue to fight the summer heat with antibiotics in the hospital.
If drinking water or soft drinks are taken in increased quantities — this creates additional load on the circulatory system. In people with border (VSD), or overt cardiovascular disease, such water stress may lead to disruption of the heart and vascular health.
Today atherosclerosis is significantly younger and are often diagnosed in men aged 20 years, women from 35 years. And vegetative-vascular dystonia pursue more from adolescence and easily transformirovalsya in hypertension. Myocardial there are many, especially irrational involved in sports, fitness.
That is why in the heat of summer it is important to understand that the cooling of the body is secondary. The main thing – to prevent the heated body.
And this will help proper nutrition. The heated body is significantly affected by protein foods. That is why in the heat of summer with increasing ambient temperature above the upper boundary of the zone of thermal comfort (24°C) excluded red meat (beef, veal, pork, lamb).
When the temperature reaches 30°C in the diet is limited to white meat and poultry, and protein foods of plant origin (seeds, nuts, legumes). The increase in temperature to 33°C forced to limit fish and seafood, and leave in the diet of only eggs and dairy products (cheese, yogurt, yogurt, yogurt). Also need to replace the products from cereals and cereal vegetables and herbs.
Sports also contribute to the heating of the body. And it is very important to do sports, fitness in a comfortable environment (18-24°C). After your workout you must wait for active sweating and body recovery.
Equally important in the summer heat to control your emotions. Emotional stress leads to increased muscle tone, which increases heat production. And strain of thermoregulation in this case, it occurs over a longer time than during physical activity.
Correction of diet, mode of work and rest, more easy attitude to stress factors facilitates thermoregulation. On this favorable background it is easy to provide a small increase in the amount of fluids in the diet. And then, even if the heat will increase, excessive load on the working circulatory system will not.
Reliable indicator of adequate fluid intake — lack of thirst, which occurs when dehydration even of just 1%. The sense of thirst reflects quite a life-threatening condition increasing viscosity of the blood. Therefore, to endure is not worth it: better as quickly as possible to fill the missing in the body fluid.
In no case should not drink water in one gulp is just holding each portion of the mouth. First, the water from the mouth and also absorbed faster into the blood. Second, the excessive use of water reduces the viscosity of blood sharply increases its volume. Heart during the day, pumping tons of blood, so it is important to consider the maximum number of factors influencing the circulation.
