Heat in Greifswald: Fries as an insider tip for your health!
When temperatures exceed 30 degrees in the summer months, this is not only a reason for summer fun, but often also for health concerns. In Greifswald there is now a special recommendation from a doctor that could put you in a good mood in the heat: fries. Dr. Matthias Napp, head of the central emergency room at Greifswald University Medical Center, advises drinking enough water in summer temperatures and eating salty foods to replenish your salt stores. Fries could help with that!
Even at the beginning of the current heat wave, there were surprisingly no heat-related emergencies in the region's emergency rooms, including the Greifswald University Medical Center and the hospitals in Wolgast and Stralsund. According to NDR, however, this is not the first time - experiences from previous heat waves show that heat-related emergencies can often arrive with a delay. That's why the doctor recommends that children and older people in particular should stay in cool, shady places.
Heat prevention for all age groups
Dr. Napp suggests paying particular attention to the needs of vulnerable groups. “Heat can be a real stress for many people,” said the doctor. It is therefore important to act preventatively and ensure adequate fluid intake.
Lack of water can not only put a strain on the body, it can also affect concentration and general well-being. Introducing salty foods like chips could be an amazingly nutritious solution to bringing electrolyte levels back into balance.
Heat wave or not?
As NDR continues to report, many people are wondering how they should behave in this weather situation. The doctor's numerous advice provides a clear framework for action: drink a lot, eat salty foods and avoid the midday heat. The situation remains tense and even if no emergencies have been reported for now, that does not mean that the risk does not exist elsewhere. Human heat can quickly lead to overload.
In addition, it is important that people can react quickly in emergencies. Everyone should have ready access to where emergency numbers are and how to act in the event of an emergency.
The warnings and advice about the heat are not something that should be dismissed in passing. On the contrary, a certain amount of preparation can be worth its weight in gold when it comes to your health.
In conclusion, if you don't want to miss out on summer, remember to keep an eye on your health too - perhaps with a cool drink and a portion of fries, like Dr. Napp recommends. This means summer remains a delight for everyone!
