Home Remedies For Sunstroke

The human body has a unique mechanism to regulate
body temperature. But when this process gets
disturbed, there occurs an imbalance that might
appear in the form of sunstroke.  Sunstroke also
called as heat stroke is an acute,
life-threatening emergency characterized
clinically by elevated body temperature and
central nervous system dysfunction. This
condition is fatal or causes damage to the brain
and other internal organs. Although heat stroke
predominantly affects people over age 50, it also
takes a toll on healthy young athletes. This
most serious form of heat injury can occur if
your body temperature rises to 104? (40?) or
higher. These issues are most common in the
summer season. Due to global warming, more heat
waves will occur in previously cooler regions.
Therefore, it is very important to create
awareness about this burning issue. Heatstroke
requires emergency treatment. Untreated
heatstroke leaves chances for damage to your
brain, heart, kidneys, and muscles. If the
primary care is neglected, the damage worsens and
increasing your risk of serious complications or
death.

  evaporating easily and cooling your body

• Restricted Diet for Heat Stroke
• Avoid consumption of excess salt which might
  adversely affect the functioning of normal sweat
  production. Salt is rich in sodium, so excess
  consumption of sodium hampers the regular
  production of sweat in the body which increases
  the risk for heat stroke.
• Consumption of alcohol should be minimalized as
  it is known to increase heat in the body.
