Today I Learned: how to prevent heat stroke

 


Happy Summer!! It is officially summer today!!

I wanted to share some things I learned on a Japanese TV program about preventing heat stroke.


Drink one sip of mugicha (麦茶 - むぎちゃ roasted barley tea) every 30 minutes. This will prevent your body from dehydrating

This also applies to comfortable, cool (AC-cooled) environments. Most people don't realize how important it is to keep the body hydrated and neglect this when they are in comfortable settings (e.g. cars, malls, and houses).

If your shirt is drenched in sweat, change into a dry one. A wet shirt will trap your body heat and cause heat stroke.

Eat Pork. If you have the choice of food, choose pork, pork contains Vitamin B1 and can prevent heat stroke.

That's all! Remember these tips, stay hydrated and enjoy summer! :)
