During the strong heat, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends abandoning alcohol, caffeine and drinks with sugar, the official representative of WHO Tarik Yazarevich said on Friday.
“People must avoid heat, keep the body in a coolness, enough to drink. And if people begin to experience dizziness, then it is better to consult a doctor. And when we talk about drinking, then we are definitely talking about water, and not about alcoholic Drinks. So it is recommended to avoid alcohol, as well as too much caffeine and sugar, “he said.
WHO’s statement commented on the situation with extreme heat in Canada, where the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has previously registered a temperature of 49.6 ° C.
