Riya Pandey/Delhi:- In the capital Delhi, the heat has broken all its records and made many new records. The scorching heat has troubled people a lot this time. Many people are also losing their lives due to the heat. People who go out in the sun are getting many diseases. One of them is a disease like heart stroke which is spreading rapidly. Let us talk to a doctor from Delhi today and tell you why people are getting heart stroke in the heat and what is its treatment.
While talking to the Local 18 team, Dr. Mukesh Kumar Gupta of Delhi told that he is a cardiology specialist doctor who has been treating people since 1996. He runs his own heart cleaning in Lajpat Nagar 4. He told that due to extreme heat, there is a lack of water in our body, due to which many different types of problems are seen in our heart. One of these is heart stroke. People who do not consume water properly in summers, suffer from such diseases.
keep these things in mind
Doctor Mukesh told Local18 that people who work in extreme heat, sweat a lot and hence their body lacks salt. That is why they should drink 1.5 to 2 liters of water throughout the day. Along with this, salt and sugar should be mixed in water and consumed, which will keep the body hydrated and also make up for the lack of salt. Apart from this, we all should drink water intermittently while sleeping at night, because most cases of heart stroke and brain stroke are seen between 4:00 and 9:00 in the morning. Although there can be many reasons for this, but this problem also arises due to lack of water.

Apart from this, take a healthy diet rich in nutrients and manage stress and anxiety. We all should get a health checkup done from time to time.
