      Summer Heat Stroke Prevention Handbook

      ◆Travel to escape the scorching sun

      Remember to prepare sun protection equipment when going out in summer. It is best not to walk in the scorching sun from 10:00 to 16:00, because the sun is strongest during this time and the possibility of heat stroke is 10 times higher than usual. If you must go out at this time, be sure to take protective measures, such as using a parasol, a sun hat, and sunglasses. It is best to apply sunscreen if possible.

      ◆Have plenty of water and drinks ready.

      ◆Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink water

When you sweat a lot, you can add some salt water to make up for the salt your body loses due to sweating.

      In summer, the human body is prone to potassium deficiency, making people feel tired and fatigued. Potassium-containing tea is an excellent summer drink. Summer seasonal vegetables, such as lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc., have a high water content; fresh fruits, such as peaches, apricots, watermelons, melons, etc., have a water content of 80% to 90%, and can be used to replenish water.

      In addition, dairy products can not only replenish water but also meet the nutritional needs of the body.

      ◆Get enough sleep

      In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and the temperature is high. The human body's metabolism is strong and consumes a lot of energy, making it easy to feel tired. Adequate sleep can relax the brain and body systems, which is not only conducive to work and study, but also a measure to prevent heatstroke.
