Introduction
Summer is the time of the year when people tend
to get more concerned about their health and
well- being. It is also a season that has its
own set of challenges, especially for those
living in Pune. The city experiences extreme
heat during this period, which can be tough on
your heart if you dont take proper care of
yourself. In this article, Dr. Ranjit Jagtap
News, has shared her thoughts on how you can
protect your heart from the hazards of summer
heat through simple lifestyle changes and other
measures that will help keep it healthy
throughout the season.

Stay Hydrated
Its important to stay hydrated in the summer.
Drinking enough water can help you stay healthy
and avoid dehydration, which is when your body
loses more fluids than it takes in. Dehydration
can cause headaches, muscle cramps and fatigue
and even make you feel dizzy or faint. So how
much should you drink? The general rule of thumb
is that women need about 9 cups (2 liters) of
fluid each day men need about 13 cups (3
liters). If you exercise regularly or live in a
hot climate where humidity levels are high,
these numbers may be higher than usual and if
theyre not already high enough for your liking
then try adding some ice cubes into your water
bottle!

Protect Yourself from the Sun
The sun is a beautiful thing, but it can also be
dangerous. If youre not careful, you could get a
sunburn or even heatstroke. Here are some tips
to help you stay safe in the summer Dr. Ranjit
Jagtap daughter says Wear sunscreen! You should
always wear sunscreen when going outside during
the day. Even if its cloudy out, UV rays still
reach your skin and cause damage over time. If
possible, use one with SPF 30 or higher this
will protect against both UVA and UVB rays (the
latter being responsible for most cases of skin
cancer). Make sure not to forget any spots on
your body when applying this includes ears and
tops of feet as well as backs of hands where
many people tend not think about putting on
protection because these areas arent typically
exposed directly toward sunlight like
face/neck/chest areas would be when wearing
clothing such as hats/hatsets/sunglasses etc..
5
Avoid Overexertion
As you know, overexertion can be dangerous. Its
important to pace yourself and avoid overexertion
in hot weather. If youre exercising outside,
take frequent breaks and drink plenty of water.
If possible, try to exercise indoors where it is
cooler and more comfortable and make sure that
your workouts are well-paced so that they dont
cause undue stress on the body or heart. If at
any point during exercise (or even during
everyday activities) you feel lightheaded or
dizzy, stop immediately! This could mean that
there has been too much strain put on your
circulatory system by excessive heat exposure or
dehydration either way its important not to
push through these symptoms as they may indicate
a potentially serious condition called
exertional heat stroke (EHS).

Exercise Moderately
Aditi Jagtap Pune says The summer heat can be
draining and exhausting, but its important to
stay active. Exercise can help you maintain your
health and keep your heart healthy. However, if
you overdo it during hot weather, there are many
risks associated with overexertion.

Heat stroke

• This is a life-threatening condition that occurs
  when the body becomes overheated and cannot cool
  down properly. Symptoms include confusion or
  unconsciousness rapid pulse rate (over 100
  beats per minute) high blood pressure nausea
  vomiting dizziness or lightheadedness muscle
  cramps heavy sweating without an increase in
  body temperature (or even with a drop in body
  temperature). If someone has these symptoms
  after exercise or being outside on a hot day
  especially if theyre also experiencing any
  other signs of heat exhaustion call 911
  immediately!

Heart attack
Dr. Ranjit Jagtap clinic says Physical activity
increases blood flow throughout the body which
helps improve circulation but also puts extra
strain on the heart muscle itself which may lead
to heart attack if overexertion is excessive and
prolonged.
