Summer days have started. These days everyone’s body remains with sweat. In addition, many people are getting dehydrated. Then comes the time to drink cold water or cold drinks. Now AC is also starting to look in every house. But this AC or cold water can also have a negative effect on our health.
Drinking cold water in hot and humid sunlight and living in cold AC has its own pleasure. This can provide relief to the body for some time, but it can also have many side effects in the long run. Many people believe that drinking cold water and living in air conditioner increases the risk of heart attack. But can it really shock the heart? Today we will know how much truth is there.
What does medical science say?
Drinking very cold water or suddenly going into a very cold environment can reduce your body temperature suddenly. This can shock the body and increase pressure on the muscles of the heart. This risk especially increases in those who already have any cardiovascular problems. People suffering from high blood pressure or heart disease, especially people over the age of 50, and smoking or alcohol drinkers need to be taken additional precautions.
Should we not drink cold water now?
It is not necessary to avoid drinking cold water. Health experts say that if you are perfectly healthy and drink cooling water in restrained amounts or use ACs restrained, there is no harm in it, but suddenly bringing the body into contact with excessive temperature, such as drinking cold water like ice after running in summer, can affect the heart.
Then what should be done?
- Drink cold water slowly, especially after exercising or going out in the sun.
- Do not lower AC temperature too high.
- If you already have heart disease, spend more time in a cold environment after consulting a doctor.
- Suddenly, do not drink cold water like ice.
- In summer, when you are soaked with sweat, do not sit directly under the AC.
