Normally, when a person's body temperature rises in a hot environment, the body will dissipate heat by increasing sweating and breathing to lower the body temperature. However, when the temperature of the environment is too high, the body temperature rises too quickly, the nerve center loses the ability to regulate the body temperature, heat production and heat dissipation are disordered, and the body electrolytes lose balance due to insufficient water supplementation, which will cause symptoms of heat stroke.
If the body temperature continues to rise and the heat is not dissipated in time, the whole body may convulse or coma, which is a severe case of heat stroke. At this time, the patient must be cooled down immediately and first aid must be performed to avoid life-threatening situations.
Premonitory heat stroke: symptoms such as thirst, fatigue, sweating, dizziness, tinnitus, headache, vomiting, chest tightness, and inattention appear. The body temperature may be normal or slightly high, but not more than 38°C.
Mild heat stroke: In addition to the symptoms of premonitory heat stroke, symptoms may also include flushing, heavy sweating, burning skin, cold limbs, nausea and vomiting, increased heart rate, and body temperature exceeding 38°C.
Severe heat stroke: There are three types of heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke, of which heat stroke is the most serious. Heat cramps are manifested as unconscious pain in the abdomen and limbs; heat exhaustion is manifested as sweating, fatigue, and emotional instability; heat stroke is manifested as neurological symptoms such as drowsiness, delirium, coma, or high fever and shock, with a mortality rate of up to 20%-70%.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C can participate in the body's redox reaction and improve tolerance to summer heat. You can choose vegetables, fruits and fruits and vitamin C drinks that are more cooling, such as bitter melon, pineapple, orange vitamin C drinks, and grapefruit vitamin c drink.
Potassium
Potassium can maintain the balance of water in the body, regulate electrolyte balance, maintain blood pressure stability, and avoid physical discomfort caused by dehydration. Cereals, bananas, lean meat and other foods are rich in potassium, so it is recommended to consume more.
Water
Water has the functions of regulating body temperature, maintaining normal circulation and excretion of the body, and maintaining electrolyte balance. Normal people drink 2000 ml of water a day. It is recommended to drink 2500 ~ 3000 ml in summer, or adjust water intake according to sweating to replenish the water lost by the body and prevent dehydration.
It is easy to get heatstroke if you stay in a hot environment or a stuffy room for a long time. When you have symptoms such as headache, dizziness, thirst, sweating, weakness and soreness of limbs, lack of concentration and uncoordinated movements, it is likely to be heatstroke.
In case of heatstroke, move the patient to a cool place, raise his feet to increase blood supply to the brain, remove the patient's outer clothes and other restraints, and wipe the body with a wet and cold towel to lower the body temperature. If the patient is awake, he can recover in a short time by replenishing water and salt.
There is also a folk therapy called "Gua Sha". It mainly promotes the circulation of blood and lymph through the conduction of meridians, speeds up the delivery to muscles and peripheral nerves, and promotes the metabolic function of the whole body.

Why can apple bitter melon pineapple juice cool down and cool down?
Bitter melon itself has the effect of cooling and reducing fire, and it also contains bitter melon (RPA) known as the "fat killer". The added pineapple juice can promote metabolism, and has the effects of cooling down, cooling down, eliminating edema and increasing appetite. The combination of the two is of course the best fruit and vegetable juice to cool down.
Ingredients:

Why can lotus root, orange and apple juice prevent heat stroke?
Lotus root is rich in potassium, which can improve high blood pressure. It has been used to replenish blood and stop bleeding since ancient times and is regarded as a medicinal plant. The vitamin C content of every 100 grams of lotus root is comparable to that of a lemon. When paired with oranges, which are also rich in vitamin C, it can relieve heat and prevent heat stroke.
