गर्मियों में घड़े का पानी क्यों है बेहतर? डॉ. सरिता राव से जानिए इसके फायदे

  गर्मियों के मौसम में शरीर को ठंडा और हाइड्रेटेड रखना बेहद जरूरी होता है। तेज धूप, अधिक पसीना और बढ़ता तापमान कई बार शरीर को थका हुआ और कमजोर बना देता है। ऐसे में पानी पीना सबसे जरूरी होता है। लेकिन अक्सर लोग यह सोचते हैं कि   फ्रिज का ठंडा पानी ज्यादा अच्छा है या घड़े का पानी? इंदौर की जानी-मानी हृदय रोग विशेषज्ञ  डॉ. सरिता राव  (Cardiologist in Indore)  के अनुसार पारंपरिक तरीके से मिट्टी के घड़े में रखा पानी गर्मियों में शरीर के लिए काफी फायदेमंद हो सकता है। घड़े का पानी प्राकृतिक रूप से ठंडा होता है और यह शरीर के तापमान को संतुलित रखने में मदद करता है, जो दिल की सेहत के लिए भी महत्वपूर्ण है। घड़े का पानी क्यों माना जाता है बेहतर? मिट्टी के घड़े में छोटे-छोटे छिद्र होते हैं, जिनकी वजह से पानी धीरे-धीरे ठंडा होता रहता है। इस प्रक्रिया को  नेचुरल कूलिंग  कहा जाता है। फ्रिज का बहुत ज्यादा ठंडा पानी कई बार गले में खराश, पाचन की समस्या या शरीर के तापमान में अचानक बदलाव का कारण बन सकता है। इसके विपरीत घड़े का पानी संतुलित रूप से ठंडा होता है, इसलिए यह शरी...

Why Does Blood Pressure Fluctuate During Summer?

Image
  As temperatures rise, many people begin to notice changes in their physical sensations. Fatigue, headaches, dizziness, dehydration, and unusual tiredness often become more common during hot weather. One important reason behind these symptoms can be changing blood pressure. Summer affects the body in several ways, and understanding this connection can help people protect their heart health more effectively. Blood pressure is not always constant. It naturally changes throughout the day depending on activity, stress, hydration, sleep, and climate. During summer, the body works harder to stay cool. Blood vessels widen to release heat through the skin, a process known as vasodilation. When this happens, blood pressure may drop in some individuals because the blood flows through a wider space. This is why some people feel lightheaded or weak after spending time outdoors in intense heat. Sweating also plays a major role. In hot weather, the body loses water and essential salts more quic...

Smoking and Heart Attack: A Growing Concern in Indore

Image
  Smoking has long been identified as one of the leading causes of heart disease worldwide. In recent years, Indore has also witnessed a noticeable rise in heart-related emergencies, especially among young and middle-aged adults. The growing habit of cigarette smoking, along with tobacco consumption in various forms, has become a serious public health concern. The link between smoking and heart attack is strong, direct, and often life-threatening.

Smoking also: Increases blood pressure Raises heart rate Reduces oxygen supply to the heart Promotes blood clot formation These effects ...
