Take care of the body during extreme weather

Scorching hot weather is hitting various regions in Indonesia. When Indonesia is hit by extreme temperatures, you should know tips for maintaining body stamina in hot weather. Based on BMKG information, the highest maximum temperature in Indonesia in April for the last 4-5 years was around 38.8 degrees Celsius, which occurred in Palembang in 2019. As for the highest temperature in May in the range of 38.8 degrees Celsius, it occurred in Temindung Samarinda in 2018.

Maintaining stamina during extreme weather is very important. This is because hot weather can trigger a number of complaints such as dehydration. Because the body excretes a lot of fluids, our bodies become tired easily. In addition, dry air makes it easy for dust to enter the respiratory tract or stick to food, causing respiratory tract infections and digestive tract infections.

Drink more water to prevent dehydration

Hot weather will make you sweat easily, so the body will become dehydrated (lack of fluids). When the body is dehydrated, all the organs that work will weaken, so that a feeling of weakness will be felt. The only way you have to do is drink more water, yes! Every time you leave the house, bring bottled mineral water so you don't forget to drink and avoid dehydration.

It would be better if you do activities in a room that has air conditioning. Like the Toshiba AC G2KCV which has the ability to cool the room faster. Its superior features can support all the activities you do, so you feel more comfortable.

Use Sunblock To Avoid Burning Skin

If you really have to leave the house, then use sunscreen or sunblock. With sunblock, you can block out excess ultraviolet rays. In addition, sunblock is also useful to keep the skin from burning. If necessary, you can also prepare lip balm to prevent chapped lips.

Expand the consumption of healthy foods, especially vegetables and fruit

Vegetables and fruit contain high water content and can overcome dehydration. Also contains minerals, vitamins, natural sugars, and amino acids that make the body absorb and store more fluids than just drinking water. In addition, eating vegetables and fruit can also boost your immune system, so you don't get sick easily.

Exercise regularly to maintain stamina

Hot weather is not an excuse for not exercising. Because, exercise can also be done at home, really. You can try push ups, sit ups, squats, planks, and others. Do not let you be lazy to exercise, because exercise can increase immunity, especially when the weather is getting hotter. The bonus, you can get the ideal weight.

Don't Forget To Take Vitamins

It is often forgotten. However, vitamins can keep the body from disease. With vitamins, the body will stay in shape even though it has to deal with extreme weather. Of course, you should pay attention to the use of vitamins properly.

Rest Enough at Night
