Beware of "emotional heat stroke"
2022-08-19
Every year, when the maximum temperature exceeds 37 ℃, the meteorological department will issue a "high temperature red warning" to remind everyone to minimize outdoor activities and prevent heatstroke. However, recently, the temperature in many parts of the country has reached 40 ℃. You may find that high temperature will not only cause heatstroke in the body, but also our emotions are extremely prone to "heatstroke": as the temperature rises, the air humidity increases, people will become restless, and the probability of conflict with people will greatly increase; Or they are in low mood, unable to raise interest, and difficult to concentrate and complete work efficiently and quickly. Studies have shown that about 16% of the normal population will have "emotional heatstroke" in summer. Especially when the temperature is over 35 ℃, the humidity is over 80%, and the sunshine time is over 12 hours, the proportion of "emotional heatstroke" will rise sharply. Symptoms: the most common manifestation of "emotional heatstroke" is increased aggressiveness. When you feel restless, you can't keep down your anger, and you can't "catch it at once", especially when you are in line or in traffic jams. Or inexplicably depressed, the original lively and positive people may suddenly "wilt" and lose their original interest in things, and their desire to communicate with people is greatly reduced, so they can not lift their spirits. Another common symptom of "emotional heatstroke" is lack of appetite for food and tea, and inability to sleep at night. In summer, people will lose their appetite because of the hot weather, or they are tired and weak during the day, but it is difficult to sleep at night, and they often become more sensitive to the small noise of the surrounding environment. What causes "emotional heat stroke"? We know that as the temperature rises, the metabolism of the human body accelerates and the energy consumption of the brain naturally increases. The brain is the headquarters of the whole human body. When the blood supply of the brain is insufficient to support the high-speed fuel consumption of the brain, the hypothalamic emotion regulation center will be affected, and then various manifestations of "emotional heatstroke" will appear. Electrolyte disorder is another cause that cannot be ignored. The high temperature in summer makes the amount of perspiration multiply, and the loss of appetite makes it difficult for the water and electrolyte discharged from sweat to be replenished in a timely and sufficient manner. "Only going out but not going in" will lead to electrolyte disorder in the body, which will further affect brain nerve activity and lead to emotional abnormalities. Prescription: cooling + light diet + regular work and rest + self-regulation "emotional heatstroke" can not be ignored, but as long as you can eat well, sleep well, actively prevent heatstroke and relax your mind, you can also have a hot but happy summer. Since high temperature is the direct cause of emotional heatstroke, the simplest way to avoid "heatstroke" is to let ourselves stay in a suitable temperature environment for more time. First of all, avoid going out at the hottest noon of the day. If you have to go out, try to go out in the morning or at night when the temperature is relatively low. At the same time, try to wear light colored clothes and pants with good moisture absorption and perspiration effect to ensure the best heat dissipation of the body. Also, do a good job in sunscreen to prevent the body surface temperature from being too high due to direct sunlight. In addition, you can also take the subway and other transportation tools with complete cooling measures. Don't stay up late in summer, be sure to work and rest regularly, ensure adequate sleep, and try to reduce the burden on the body. We should eat more light food and pay attention to camping
