News Topical, Digital Desk : Heart Attack Risk in Summer: 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 too? Many times we are unable to pay attention to our small daily habits, which can become a major cause of heart attack in the summer season.
Dehydration in the body
In summers, we sweat a lot, due to which the amount of salt and water in 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're going out
Drink coconut water, lemonade and drinks rich in electrolytes
extreme heat problem
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 condition 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 during the afternoon
Wear light and loose clothes
If there is no AC in the home or office, stay in a cool place and use a fan
Excessive physical activity and workouts
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.
Time your workouts to be early in the morning or in the evening when the temperature is lower
Take breaks while exercising and keep drinking water
Do not ignore body fatigue, it may be a sign that there is excess pressure on the heart
