The Ministry of Health made recommendations on protecting health in the heat

The Ministry of Health of Azerbaijan appealed to the population with recommendations on health protection in connection with the established hot weather. The appeal indicates the need to avoid overheating of the body, which causes negative consequences for the body. The main symptoms of heat and sunstroke are redness of the face, severe headache, dizziness, darkening of the eyes, nausea, vomiting, nosebleeds and visual impairment.

In such cases, a person should be immediately taken out into the fresh air, necessarily in the shade, or placed in a cool room. In the summer months, first of all, you should drink a lot of fluids. It is recommended to stay away from alcohol and sugary drinks, as they increase dehydration of the body.

Excessive physical activity in hot weather is also dangerous for human health. It is recommended to be outdoors, and especially under the sun on hot summer days, before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m. You should wear sunglasses, a headdress with a visor, and also use beach umbrellas. At the same time, the Ministry of Health points to the benefits of regular consumption of seasonal fruits and vegetables.
