How to protect heart in the heat

The cardiovascular system suffers in the heat is particularly strong. How to survive the heat with minimal stress on the heart, said the experts: Julia Sharupich, cardiologist of the highest category of KNP “CDC Shevchenko district” and Maxim Sokolov, the chief freelance specialist MoH of Ukraine, Professor of the Department of cardiology of Netacademy named after P. L. Shupyk, representative in the international Stent for Life initiative.

KIDS: FREQUENTLY WASH YOUR FLOORS AND GIVE YOU “DON’T WANT”

In the heat of the air is extremely dry. This leads to dehydration, which impairs thermoregulation, even in healthy adult humans. And what about children up to 3 years, the system of thermoregulation which is just being formed?

To forestall overheating or toddler to alleviate his condition, if the baby is already “cooked” several times a day, wet cleaning, and generously water the flowers. If the room has a hygrometer, make sure that the humidity never dropped below 50%, and more than 65-70%.

Normal thermoregulation is possible only when a sufficient amount of fluid in the body. Therefore increase the usual amount of milk, water and/or natural juice 30-35%.

If baby refuses to drink, appetizing decorate glass offer colorful tubes, prepare drinks of different colors (red currant, green rhubarb), quite crumbs pour the drink over the cheek with a syringe (without a needle).

CHILDREN: A WARM SHOWER AND KISLOMOLOCHNY INSTEAD OF LUNCH

In older children thermoregulation is still imperfect. In addition, they fidget and don’t reduce speed, regardless of the indicators of the thermometer. Respectively — much sweat. Because the water for them is not just important, and should be increased to 40 ml per 1 kg of body weight.

2-3 times a day send your child into the shower (not counting the hygienic morning and evening). Optimal water temperature is 25-35 °C: very hot increases the load on the heart and blood vessels, and too cold will worsen the heat transfer, thus reducing overheating.
If the child turn up his nose from the soup and the meatballs — don’t. Protein micro – and macronutrients can be obtained from kefir or yogurt, and they are easier to digest.

ADULTS: THE REJECTION OF COFFEE, ALCOHOL AND MEAT PRODUCTS

Coffee and alcohol, as a diuretic drinks increase dehydration in the body. Keep their use to a minimum and, as they say, only on major holidays. In addition, caffeine stimulates the Central nervous system, and if coffee is drunk more than one Cup a day, and perevozbuzdenie. And this is an additional burden on the heart and blood vessels.

Industrial processed meat and fast foods contain high amount of salt, which leads to accumulation of excess fluid in the body, and it also overloads the cardiovascular system.

The spices are also best avoided: they increase dietary thermogenesis and thereby further raise the body temperature, and “toasted” by the sun.

ELDERLY: BREAKFAST AT DAWN AND THE FOOT BATH

The cardiovascular system of aged people “in” weakens a priori. Because this category of people, like no other, you should avoid sun exposure from 10:00 to 17:00. Fire they are contraindicated at all — because direct heating of the vascular system, first, it is magyarosy for her second, “deep fried” the organism will fail, leading to disturbances in the blood vessels and heart. To unload the vessels of the legs, twice a day for 10 minutes, or place them in a bowl of water, dropping Melissa oil (7-8 drops per 1 liter).

Also in the elderly, especially in the heat, slowing down digestion. From disorders in the digestive tract and the whole body suffers, including vessels and heart. Because in the heat of the discard products, leading to increased sweating, pork, beef, lamb, pasta, bakery products and fatty foods (except fish, raw nuts and vegetable oils). To facilitate the digestion of the meals, avoid the heat: to eat Breakfast is before 7:00, dinner — 19:00, and lunch to eat warm soups.

ILL: DRINK WHEY AND BUTTER ELBOW

In cases of heavy sweating in the heat lost nutrients. And what would a chronic disease the person is suffered, the need for minerals and vitamins equally increased. Because serum quench your thirst, juices, mineral water.

Regardless of which organ is affected, the heart is always. Because of the weakness and/or dizziness lubricate elbow, oil of rosemary, thyme, mint, grapefruit or cinnamon: they tone up the circulatory system, easing headaches and relieving weakness.
