Be it hot afternoons or humid nights, this season not only makes you sweat, but also leaves a deep impact on the body. Often people think that heart attacks happen more in winters, but do you know that the risk to the heart can be equally serious in summers? Many times we are unable to pay attention to our small everyday habits, which can become a major cause of heart attack in summer.
Dehydration in the body
We sweat a lot in summer, due to which the amount of salt and water from the body starts decreasing rapidly. When there is a lack of water in the body, the blood becomes thick and the heart has to work harder to pump blood.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially when you are going out
Take coconut water, lemonade and drinks rich in electrolytes
Problem of extreme heat
When the body is constantly exposed to strong sunlight and heat, the problem increases. This can disturb the body's temperature control system and blood pressure can suddenly fall or rise. This situation becomes dangerous for the heart, especially for those who are already suffering from high bp or heart disease.
Go out only in the morning or evening, avoid going out in the afternoon
Wear light and loose clothes
If there is no AC in the house or office, then stay in a cool place and use a fan
Excessive physical activity and workout
In summer, many people start exercising in the sun early in the morning or in the afternoon to lose weight. At this time the body is already hot and when we put more pressure on it, it can affect the heart.
Keep the time of workout early in the morning or in the evening, when the temperature is low
Take breaks in between while exercising and keep drinking water
Do not ignore body fatigue, it may be a sign that there is more pressure on the heart.jpg)
