00:00If I don't drink coffee, I feel like I've been killed.
00:07Like her mother, even though she's been through a lot, coffee is still alive.
00:12My body and mind are looking for it.
00:15Even when it was raining or hot, I drank coffee 6 times a day.
00:21You're a coffee lover, but wait a minute, when it's hot.
00:25What do experts say about drinking coffee when it's hot?
00:29I'm Yumer Yanga, and here's what you need to know.
00:38It's part of Filipinos' daily routine to drink coffee.
00:42But now that it's hot, be careful with how you drink it.
00:45Coffee is a diuretic.
00:48Caffeine increases the production of urine.
00:50So the more coffee you take, the more fluid your body excretes.
00:55Oh my, so does that mean coffee is prohibited?
00:57That's not true. You can still drink caffeinated beverages.
01:01However, this is only limited this summer.
01:04And if you're going to drink coffee, make sure to drink more water.
01:08And hydrate yourself properly to avoid dehydration.
01:12Are you feeling hot already?
01:13According to experts, we can feel it even more when it's hot.
01:18It feels like my body is getting hotter.
01:20It's so hot, sir. I can't help it. It's so hot.
01:25I can see that you're sweating. How hot is it now?
01:27It's around 90 degrees. Even when I'm sleeping, it's really hot.
01:31I'm sweating here.
01:32When you go out in the sun, it really gets into your skin.
01:35So drink water. Mix it well. Everything is cold.
01:40From March to May, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration
01:47or Pag-asa, or the so-called Heat Index Forecast,
01:52this is the temperature that our skin feels.
01:55It's at a dangerous level of heat when it reaches 42 to 51 degrees Celsius.
02:01If we can't avoid being exposed to the sun, it's important for our body to feel it.
02:06Let's monitor the signs of dehydration.
02:10You may feel itching and sweating.
02:13Our body has what are called regulators and receptors.
02:17If these receptors and regulators detect that it's too hot and our body fluids are depleted,
02:22we will feel itching.
02:25They send signals to protect us from dehydration.
02:29There's a higher chance for a person to dehydrate if they sweat a lot.
02:33When we sweat, we lose water.
02:35Hot and humid weather is the cause of excessive sweating.
02:40And the amount of fluid you lose can cause dehydration.
02:43When we dehydrate, we may experience fatigue, dizziness, headache,
02:49dryness of our mouth and skin, rapid heartbeats,
02:53shortness of breath, weakness, and many more.
02:58Heat cramps are also a sign of dehydration.
03:01This is the first sign of a heat-related illness.
03:04Heat cramps are painful muscle spasms.
03:08This can happen during physical activities or even without physical activities.
03:13Heat cramps are due to excessive heat.
03:15This is common in the hands, arms, legs, and feet.
03:19This happens because of fluid loss and electrolyte imbalance.
03:23If the exposure to excessive heat continues,
03:27you may experience heat exhaustion.
03:29The possible symptoms are headache, low-grade fever, increased thirst and sweating,
03:35body weakness, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, or even fainting.
03:40This is the reaction of our body due to overheating or overexertion.
03:45Heat stroke is what the body experiences when it is ignored by the aforementioned signs.
03:50This is a medical emergency that can lead to death if it is not treated immediately.
03:55It can permanently affect our body, brain, and heart.
04:01Heat stroke is the most severe form of heat illness.
04:04The thermal or heat regulation system of our body does not function properly.
04:10It cannot properly cool down the temperature of our body.
04:14In this case, you may experience high-grade fever.
04:19You may experience greater than or equal to 40 degrees Celsius body temperature.
04:23Don't worry because all of these can be solved by water.
04:28Water is still the best solution to fight heat stroke.
04:35Our body is approximately 60% water.
04:38That's why water is vital to our health.
04:41It has many roles in our body.
04:43One of them is to maintain a normal body temperature.
04:47Water should almost always be our go-to drinking beverage.
04:51According to an expert, you should drink 2 to 3 liters of water every day.
04:57If you are exposed to extreme temperature for a long time,
05:00you can drink approximately 500 ml of water every 20 minutes.
05:05This is for adults.
05:06For children, you can drink at least 200 ml of water every 20 minutes.
05:13No matter where you go, you will feel the heat of the weather.
05:16That's why it's important to keep your cool.
05:18Drink plenty of water and let your body feel it.
05:21So that even in the heat, you can still have fun.
