Endocrinologist explains why it is dangerous to drink cold water in hot weather
On a hot summer day, all you can think about is how to quench your thirst with a glass of cold drink.
But doctors do not recommend giving preference to cold water in such weather.
Endocrinologist Zukhra Pavlova spoke about this in more detail, reports kp.ru.
The doctor noted that cold liquid will only provoke diseases of the ENT organs, and the immune system may also suffer.
Still, heat is also stress for the body, which means that you shouldn’t overload it, so it’s better to choose natural warm water.
For a boost of energy, you can add a slice of lemon or fresh cucumber to your drink. Herbal teas and homemade kvass without sugar will also be beneficial.
You need to drink a lot.
For every kilogram of weight you should consume 30-40 ml of liquid.
When the body is saturated with water, it has good thermoregulation, and as a result, the risk of heat stroke becomes minimal.
