In summer, if it is to prevent heatstroke, it should be appropriate to drink some light salt water. Before heatstroke, there will be a lot of sweating. At this time, many inorganic salts such as sodium, potassium and magnesium in the human body will be taken away by sweat. Appropriate supplement of light salt water can increase the content of lost sodium salt. Drinking water at a temperature lower than the body temperature can quench thirst and may also play a role in rapid cooling. However, it should be noted that the amount of drinking water each time should not be too much, not more than 300ml at a time, and do not drink a large amount of water continuously, which will dilute the gastric juice and affect the digestive function.
