What is the news?
In summer, pregnant women may have to face many problems due to heat. During this period, due to increase in body temperature, they may feel more tired and weak. Apart from this, there is also a danger of problems like water shortage and heat wave. Today, let us tell you some such measures, by adopting which pregnant women can stay safe from heat and their health can also remain good.
wear loose and light clothes
Pregnant women should wear loose and light clothes in this season. Cotton or linen clothes are best because they allow air to pass through the skin and absorb sweat. Wear light colored clothes as they absorb less sunlight and make you feel cooler. Avoid wearing tight clothes as they do not allow the skin to breathe comfortably, which can cause irritation.
Do these things to maintain coolness in the house
To maintain coolness in their house, pregnant women should keep windows and doors closed during the day and open them only in the evening. This will bring cool air into the house, which will reduce the heat. Apart from this, use fan or AC in the house so that the coolness remains. To keep the house cool, get light colored painting done on the roof of the house because light colors absorb less sunlight, which keeps the house cool.
avoid dehydration
It is very important for pregnant women to avoid water deficiency as it is good for health. Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water throughout the day. Apart from this, you can also drink coconut water, buttermilk and fresh fruit juice. Drink cold beverages, which will make you feel refreshed. Stay away from soft drinks and caffeinated drinks in cold drinks. Drink natural drinks instead.
Take care of your diet
Pregnant women should pay special attention to food and drink during this season. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables, which are rich in vitamins and minerals. Consume seasonal fruits like watermelon, melon and cucumber, which can help in cooling the body. Apart from this, you can also drink cold curd or lassi. Avoid heavy and spicy food as these can burden the digestive system and increase heat.
Do not stay in the sun for a long time
Pregnant women should not stay in the sun for long periods of time, especially during the afternoon when sunlight is at its strongest. If it is necessary to go out, wear an umbrella or a hat so that you can be protected from the sun. Apart from this, apply sunscreen while leaving the house, which can help in protecting the skin from the harmful rays of the sun. Wear sunglasses along with sunscreen.
