Sour plum juice prevents heatstroke
In a scorching environment, body temperature rises, and the body's functions automatically adjust to cool down. These adjustments include: blood vessel dilation, increased blood flow, and increased sweating and breathing rate. When the temperature is too high and physiological regulation fails to effectively control body temperature, heatstroke can occur.
During heatstroke, body temperature can reach as high as 41 degrees Celsius, accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, headache, pale complexion, cramps, and shock. At this point, drinking too much plain water immediately is not advisable. This is because when the body regulates temperature, it expels a large amount of sweat, and while water is lost, a large amount of salt is also removed. If a large amount of plain water is consumed at this time, it will lead to an imbalance of electrolytes in the body. The correct approach is to add a small amount of salt to plain water and drink it, or even directly drink sports drinks to replenish lost salt and electrolytes.
When the weather is hot, you can take three to five dried plums, put them in warm water for ten minutes, and once the flavor is released, it is ready to drink. Dried plums are neutral in nature, sour and slightly astringent in taste, and act on the spleen, lungs, and intestines meridians. They can generate fluids to quench thirst, astringe the lungs to stop coughs, and also reduce sweating and astringe the intestines to stop diarrhea. "Ben Jing Feng Yuan" also recorded: "Dried plums are sour and astringent, benefiting fluids and stimulating appetite, able to astringe the lungs and intestines, stop vomiting and sweating, calm asthma and expel parasites." This tea is suitable for men, women, young and old. Carrying a bottle of dried plum water when going out in summer is simple, convenient, and can reduce the chance of heatstroke. When taking my son to play in the park, I also prepare a bottle of dried plum water for him to drink.
To avoid heatstroke, it is advisable to frequently drink small amounts of plain water, and not wait until you are thirsty to drink a large amount of water. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight outdoors, wear light-colored, loose-fitting, and thin clothes, and ensure good ventilation. Heatstroke should not be underestimated. If heatstroke occurs repeatedly, it may indicate an underlying physical condition, and it is recommended to seek diagnosis from a registered doctor.
