As the doctor emphasized, during the heat it is important not to go beyond the norms of tea and coffee consumption.
According to Kruglova, excess caffeine can lead to an increase in heart rate.
She also added that these drinks have diuretic properties.
“Therefore, in addition to tea and coffee, there should be other drinks, and if you feel thirsty, then you need to quench it only with clean water ... There are no separate recommendations for drinking tea or coffee in the heat, it is important not to go beyond the usual norms.
If the norm of caffeine during the day, which is safe for health, is already presented in drinks - it will be about one or two cups (standard size - 200-250 ml) of coffee.
We are talking about natural coffee, since instant coffee contains less caffeine.
And two or three cups of tea during the day, ”said the expert.
The specialist also noted that in the summer period it is necessary to remember about food safety of products.
“In a hot season, the decomposition of pathogenic organisms can occur faster than usual, at an increased rate.
You need to pay attention to products with a short shelf life.
These are dairy products, confectionery with butter cream, products that contain thermally unprocessed eggs in their composition, it is also better to refuse them.
Products that have a short shelf life: cooked meat products, dairy products - should not be outside the refrigerator for more than one hour.
One hour is a long period for them, ”she explained.
Kruglova warned that chopped vegetables and fruits can also be a breeding ground for pathogenic microorganisms.
“Therefore, we cook them immediately before use, and put everything that is not eaten in the refrigerator,” she concluded.
Earlier, the Hydrometeorological Center issued a warning about abnormal heat in Moscow, the temperature will reach +34 ° C.
