Many parts of India are experiencing temperatures above 45 degrees Celsius. While the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heat alert, health experts have warned people to be vigilant and take the right care to avoid diseases caused by extreme heat. Water scarcity is a common problem that people face daily in the summer season and it also leads to various stomach and respiratory problems.
We all lose a lot of water in summer. If you do not take proper care, you may feel dehydrated, have stomach problems, mild confusion, and extreme weakness. Along with this, consuming food kept outside for a long time can also change your bacterial composition and cause many stomach-related problems. Along with this, symptoms like lack of appetite, constipation, heartburn, and IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) appear when the digestive capacity is reduced.
Follow these measures to avoid stomach and respiratory problems in the summer season
Stay Hydrated
Drink enough water throughout the day to avoid dehydration and support your health.
Eat Light Food
Choose smaller and more granular food that is easily digested. Do not eat heavy, fried food, as it can aggravate stomach problems.
Avoid spicy and acidic food
Avoid eating spicy food in summer because eating spicy food in summer can have a bad effect on the body.
Pay attention to the cold environment
Look for an air-conditioned environment or use a fan to lower the temperature and maintain proper airflow.
Take breaks in shady spots
Spend limited time with direct sunlight and seek shade so that the pressure on your respiratory system is reduced.
Symptoms of heat exhaustion include-
Excessive sweating
Excessive sweating as the body tries to keep cool is one of the first signs of heat exhaustion.
Fatigue and weakness
Heat exhaustion can make you feel extremely tired and weak, which can make it difficult to do normal activities.
Dizziness and Confusion
Heat exhaustion may be accompanied by a feeling of dizziness, confusion, or fainting.
Headache
Fatigue can cause a sharp pain in the forehead, which is usually due to dehydration and the body's effort to maintain a balanced temperature.
Vomiting and Nausea
Heat exhaustion can lead to a feeling of vomiting or even nausea in many cases.
Pale and cool skin
The skin may appear pale, cool, and moist due to reduced blood flow to the vital organs of the body.
