Tips For a Healthy Heart During Summer
Stay Hydrated
If you are not careful enough to drink water regularly, high summer temperatures can cause dehydration easily. Dehydration is known to trigger conditions such as stroke and atrial fibrillation. At times, you may fail to recognize that you are dehydrated. Hence, you need to consume water at regular intervals even if you don't feel thirsty. Besides water, include fluids in your diet such as fresh fruit and vegetable juices, soups and coconut water.
Limit Caffeine and Alcohol
Consumption of caffeinated drinks and alcohol can accelerate dehydration, which in turn may increase your risk of developing heart complications. This is particularly important for people who have undergone angioplasty and have stents in their heart. Dehydration can cause thickening of the blood, which blocks the stent and triggers an attack.
Avoid Stress
Stress has been directly linked to heart health by various scientific studies. Practice activities like meditation and yoga to manage your stress. Taking up a cardiac care insurance is also recommended. A cardiac or heart care insurance not only helps you prepare for the worst but will also help you avoid unnecessary stress.
Limit Outdoor Activities
Continued exposure to the summer heat may strain your heart. Avoid exercising or walking outdoors when it is sunny. Early mornings and evenings are the best time to venture outside. Also, make sure to wear light coloured clothes in breathable fabrics like cotton.
Consult Your Doctor Immediately If You Suspect Anything
Given the increased demand for oxygen during the summer, there might be increased pressure on your heart. If you are suffering from conditions such as congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation etc. you may need medical attention even if you develop the slightest symptoms of a heat stroke.
Get Enough Sleep
Getting adequate sleep is a very important part of keeping your heart healthy. Getting disturbed or less sleep affects your blood pressure, which can have detrimental effects on your heart. So ensure that you get at least six hours of undisturbed sleep.
