Sweating a lot increases the risk of blood clots... What is the worst lifestyle habit?

If the body's fluids are lacking, the blood becomes thick.

People with blood pressure or vascular issues should drink water frequently even if they do not feel thirsty. It is advisable to limit caffeine drinks like coffee, which promote fluid excretion through urine, as well as salty foods and alcohol.

During the day, scorching heat, and at night, tropical nights... the entire country is blazing hot with intense heat.

 

As tropical nights (minimum nighttime temperature above 25°C) persist for a long time, there are predictions that Seoul may surpass the record for the longest tropical night period (26 days) in history.

 

As the scorching heat persists day and night, the voices warning to "take care of your health" are growing louder.

Especially, those with underlying conditions such as diabetes and vascular diseases should be more cautious.

 

This is because not only heat-related illnesses but also vascular diseases can worsen.

 

Suffering from the heat even at night...☆ Problems in the brain blood vessels occur

 

A paper has been published in the international journal "European Heart Journal" indicating that suffering from heat at night increases the risk of problems in the cerebral blood vessels.

 

This is a comparative analysis of 11,037 stroke cases (ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke) treated at Augsburg University Hospital in Germany over 15 years (2006-2020) and nighttime temperatures.

 

Research findings indicate that if nights with temperatures maintained above 14.6°C persist, the risk of stroke increases by 7%.

 

There was a higher likelihood of developing cerebrovascular problems, especially among women and the elderly.

 

If the heat persists, there is a risk of blood clots forming in the blood vessels... "Heart and cerebrovascular blockages"

 

In the above study, the nighttime temperature associated with increased stroke risk was set at 14.6°C or higher, but these days in Korea, tropical nights exceeding 25°C have been lasting for an extended period, posing a greater health risk.

 

The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency classifies patients with heart and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, hypotension, and kidney disease as high-risk groups who should be especially cautious of the heat.

 

When you sweat excessively and become dehydrated, your blood becomes thickened, increasing the risk of blood clots.

 

If a blood clot blocks a blood vessel, it can worsen heart and cerebrovascular diseases.

 

There is also research indicating that people with excessive sweating due to hyperhidrosis have a higher risk of stroke compared to those without it.

 

Blood pressure has no symptoms... ☆"Be careful with your heart and cerebrovascular health"

 

High-risk groups for stroke include individuals with hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and smokers.

 

If blood pressure is high, the blood repeatedly stimulates the blood vessel walls as it flows through, making inflammation more likely to occur.

 

In particular, if there is a large accumulation of triglycerides and other fats in the blood vessels, the risk of inflammation is higher.

 

If this condition persists, the blood vessel walls gradually thicken and harden (atherosclerosis), obstructing blood flow and increasing the likelihood of developing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

 

☆Hypertension has no symptoms. It is advisable to manage it thoroughly and regularly check your heart and cerebrovascular health.

 

Why do heart and cerebrovascular diseases worsen in the early morning?...☆ "Drink water more frequently"

 

People with poor heart and cerebrovascular health often experience worsening conditions in the early morning hours when their body fluids are low.

 

You should drink plenty of water during the summer when you sweat a lot.

 

☆ Especially for people with blood pressure or vascular issues, it is good to drink water frequently even if you do not feel thirsty.

 

You should refrain from caffeine drinks like coffee that promote the excretion of body fluids through urination, salty foods, and alcohol.

 

Drinking little water and smoking a lot is the worst. To protect my blood vessels, I need to change my lifestyle habits first.
