Dr. Pratyush Kumar, a physician at Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) near Makhania Kuan road in Capital city of Bihar, said, “Our body is very sensitive during these days. Heat stroke is a very common problem amongst office-going employees and school going children. Symptoms of heat stroke are vomiting, weakness, dehydration, excessive sweating. Lack of electrolytes like sodium and potassium are also responsible for body cramp. A diseased person must be careful since diseases are most active in summer season”. He further advised everyone to wear pure cotton clothes throughout heat mercury days.
While medical experts are giving their 100 percent to keep people from summer effects, and other individuals are also following beverages to keep hydrated for a day. Whenever I go to college, I strictly follow the instruction. I prefer the desi style to keep hydrated. By consuming sattu pani (a desi beverage sold in Bihar), aam panna, etc, I feel refresh and chilled. Other drinks like Mojito and Chocolate shake are also good for health, said, Ria, a resident of Patliputra colony in Patna city.
Tanya Poddar, a resident of Kankarbagh in Patna, said, “Since I go to the gym for my fitness in the summer season, water is the first choice to keep me hydrated during the day. I also prefer to fruits smoothie and Desi beverages like soda (salty) and am a piano while going to school”.
