It's easy to suffer from heatstroke in summer, what should I do?

Heatstroke is common in summer and can generally be prevented by avoiding going out during high-temperature periods, taking sun protection measures, replenishing fluids promptly, arranging diet reasonably, and preparing heatstroke-prevention medications. If any abnormalities occur, timely medical attention is recommended. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Avoid going outdoors during high-temperature periods: Temperatures are usually highest around noon in summer, and prolonged exposure to such intense sunlight can easily lead to heat accumulation in the body and cause heatstroke. Try to go outside during cooler times of the day, such as early morning or evening, to reduce the risk of heatstroke.

2. Take sun protection measures: Wear sun-protective clothing and hats, and apply sunscreen when going outdoors to avoid direct sun exposure on the skin. Direct sunlight causes the body to absorb excessive heat, and ultraviolet radiation can also damage the skin, increasing physical stress and the likelihood of heatstroke.

3. Replenish fluids promptly: In high temperatures, the body sweats more, leading to rapid loss of fluids and electrolytes. Failure to replenish these in time can result in dehydration, impairing the body's ability to regulate temperature and triggering heatstroke. Drink small amounts of lukewarm water or lightly salted water frequently to maintain adequate hydration.

4. Arrange diet reasonably: Summer diets should be light and easy to digest, including more heat-relieving foods such as watermelon, cucumber, and mung bean soup. These foods help the body dissipate heat and replenish fluids and nutrients, avoiding excessive consumption of spicy or greasy foods that increase physical burden and lower the risk of heatstroke.

5. Prepare heatstroke-prevention medications: Carry heatstroke-prevention medicines such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water (Agastache essential oil solution), Shidi Shui (a traditional Chinese medicine), and cooling oil with you. When experiencing early signs of heatstroke like dizziness or fatigue, timely use of these medications can relieve discomfort and prevent the condition from worsening.

Maintain regular作息 and ensure sufficient sleep in daily life to enhance physical resistance. If symptoms of heatstroke such as dizziness, nausea, or palpitations occur in high-temperature environments, immediately move to a cool, well-ventilated place, take measures to lower body temperature, and seek medical attention when necessary. Activities during summer should be adjusted according to individual conditions to avoid overexertion.
