In hot weather, it is necessary to avoid coffee and high-caffeine teas.
Medianews.az reports that this conclusion was reached by specialists from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Caffeine has a mild diuretic effect, which leads to rapid dehydration of the body, and as a result, can cause heat stroke, loss of consciousness, and convulsions.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also recommend limiting the consumption of alcohol and drinks high in sugar and sodium in hot weather. The best choice is to drink plain water – whether cold or warm.
