What does heatstroke prevention mean?

Pay attention to heatstroke prevention in order to prevent the invasion of summer heat and prevent heatstroke.

Heatstroke prevention and cooling is a way to cool down with food and drinks in high temperature weather in summer. In summer, the temperature is high, sweating is much, the salt in the body is reduced, and the osmotic pressure in the body will lose stability, leading to heatstroke. Drinking salty boiled water or salty tea can supplement the salt lost in the body, thus achieving the effect of heatstroke prevention and cooling.

1, salty boiled water: Chinese medicine says boiled water is the "king of all medicines". When drinking boiled water, you should choose fresh cold boiled water (2℃ to 25℃) that cools naturally after boiling. This kind of boiled water has specific biological activity, and it is easy to enter cells through the cell membrane and be quickly absorbed and utilized. You'd better add some salt when drinking boiled water. In summer, the temperature is high, sweating is much, the salt in the body is reduced, and the osmotic pressure in the body will lose stability, leading to heatstroke. Drinking salty boiled water or salty tea can supplement the salt lost in the body, thus achieving the effect of heatstroke prevention and cooling.

2. Tea: Potassium is an important trace element in the human body. Potassium can maintain the normal function of nerves and muscles, especially the normal movement of myocardium. Scientific analysis shows that tea contains more potassium, accounting for about 1.5% of its proportion. Potassium is easily excreted with sweat, so tea with suitable temperature should be the first choice in summer.

3, mung bean soup: mung bean soup has a unique summer heat-clearing effect. Chinese medicine believes that mung bean has the effects of relieving summer heat and benefiting qi, clearing away heat and toxic materials, moistening throat and quenching thirst, and inducing diuresis to reduce swelling, which can prevent heatstroke. Related experiments show that mung beans have obvious effects on lowering cholesterol in blood and protecting liver. The only drawback is that mung beans are too cold to be eaten by the weak.

4. Bitter gourd: Bitter gourd is fragrant and delicious because of its bitter taste, and it is regarded as a rare diet vegetable. China folks have had the experience of "bitter can clear away heat" and "bitter can strengthen the stomach" since ancient times. Chinese medicine believes that bitter gourd tastes bitter and cold, and can clear away heat and purge fire. Bitter taste of bitter gourd can stimulate the secretion of saliva and gastric juice, increase appetite, clear away heat and prevent heatstroke, so it is appropriate to eat bitter gourd in summer.
