Excessive loss of fluid from the body can lead to a dangerous condition associated with the heart and blood vessels.
The recommendation to drink more water in the heat is mandatory. Elena Malysheva told about it.
On the air of the program “Live Healthy!” on Channel One, the doctor explained that a lack of water in the body increases the risks associated with heart attacks, strokes, and thrombosis.
Her colleague, cardiologist Herman Gandelman, explained that blood consists of a liquid phase and formed elements.
With profuse sweating, the ratio of formed elements to the liquid component in the blood reaches dangerous levels.
Simply put, the cells stick together, the blood becomes thick. This increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, thrombosis.
Experts do not recommend being in the sun between 11:00 and 15:00. These are the most dangerous hours.
In addition, doctors advise drinking up to 15 glasses of water a day in extreme heat.
Earlier, Dr. Alexander Myasnikov told who should avoid taking vitamins.
