熱中症　　Heat stroke

先日、午後1時頃から2時間ほど外で家の周りの整理作業としてガードレールの取り外しを行いました。

炎天下でしたが、木陰もあり、熱中症はあまり心配していませんでしたが、体力的につらくなり作業を中止し、涼しい部屋に入り、横になりしばらく休みました。

体温を測ると、やはり、いつもの体温よりは一度ほど高くなっており、熱中症の初期状態だったと判断しました。

年齢が上がると、体温調節機能が低下し、体温が下がり難くなりますので、夏シーズンは特に注意が必要です。

明日は夏休みと健康について投稿します。

The other day, I was outside for about two hours from about 1:00 p.m. removing guardrails as part of a cleanup job around my house.

It was blazing hot, but there was some shade, so I wasn't too much worried about heat stroke, but it became too much for me physically, so I stopped the work and came back into a cool room, lay down and rested for a while.

When I measured my body temperature, I found that it was about one degree higher than my usual body temperature, judging that I was in the early stages of heat stroke.

As we get older, the body's ability to regulate temperature declines and it becomes more difficult to lower the body temperature.

Tomorrow I will post about summer vacation and health.
