Despite the fact that the water in the cooling system of the body – the most active participant, the emphasis on the use of water in the summer heat is a direct road to the exacerbation of heart failure.

In the organisms of warm-blooded animals, which include people, part of the food energy is dissipated as heat. This way, a constant body temperature, which provides the necessary level of metabolism. To avoid overheating of the body, excess heat is removed with natural secrets. Active water evaporation from the skin and lungs allows the thermoregulation system to maintain the desired body temperature.

The result of slight overheating is increased sweating. For this reason, cold water, ice water and other cold drinks and foods will not help to cool the body in summer heat. But there is a risk of reduced immunity in the throat and initial segments of the respiratory system.

Second, the excessive use of water reduces the viscosity of blood sharply increases its volume.

The heated body is significantly affected by protein foods. That is why in the heat of summer with increasing ambient temperature above the upper boundary of the zone of thermal comfort (24°C) excluded red meat (beef, veal, pork, lamb). When the temperature reaches 30°C in the diet is limited to white meat and poultry, and protein foods of plant origin (seeds, nuts, legumes). The increase in temperature to 33°C forced to limit fish and seafood, and leave in the diet of only eggs and dairy products (cheese, yogurt, yogurt, yogurt).

Also need to replace the products from cereals and cereal vegetables and herbs.
