Eating certain foods in hot weather can cause dehydration, warned dietitian and consultant Alexei Kabanov.
As SE writes, the specialist stressed that if there are problems with well-being in the heat, this may mean that the body does not have enough water. In this case, it is worth temporarily eliminating certain foods from the diet.
In particular, salt-rich foods lead to dehydration. “It can be salted nuts or chips, or a salty lunch. It is important to remember one thing – salt dehydrates the body. In conditions of intense heat, this factor can be fatal, ”the nutritionist warned.
You should also give up sugary carbonated drinks – they provoke even more thirst and are harmful to the digestive tract, and also threaten type 2 diabetes and obesity from excessive consumption of sugary drinks.
Finally, in the heat, you will have to forget about coffee, especially with sugar. “This drink has a diuretic effect and removes a lot of fluid from the body. And if it is sweet coffee that is abused, the fluid in the body will linger, which will lead to serious edema, problems with the functioning of the kidneys and will create an additional burden on the cardiovascular system, ”summed up the nutritionist.
