To cope with the heat wave, you have to drink regularly. Update on Saturday August 19 on the 8 p.m. set with Gérard Kierzek, emergency doctor.
“It’s an excellent initiative to have a bottle or a canteen on you, because it allows you to quantify the intake. We say that you have to drink but not too muchtwo liters a day seems like a good amount in terms of fluid intake”, says Gérard Kierzek, emergency physician. The alcohol in return, “dehydrated, that’s why you get a hangover when you drink a little too much alcohol, you have a headache the next day because you’re dehydrated”recalls Gérard Kierzek.
Watch out for water poisoning
Drinking more than two liters of water can be dangerous, “because there are cases of water intoxication, which we saw a few years ago. By dint of repeating messages of hyperhydration, we had water comas, a kind of intoxication with water. You should drink small quantities and regularly”recalls the emergency doctor.
