Neurosurgeon Vlad Ciurea PHOTO The truth
“Dehydration occurs, because we have taken the water out of us and then the whole body functions in water. With no more water, we can no longer function. And then the phenomenon of laziness, fatigue, sluggishness happens, you feel like falling asleep on the street. We cannot influence Romania’s climate, but we can fight against the heat wave. We can prevent it by avoiding going out during the maximum heat that is on the boulevards of Bucharest or in the areas where we have work. At least until after 17:00-18:00 in the afternoon”says Prof. Dr. Vlad Ciurea, in the Health Advice section of Antena 3 CNN.
To get through this hot season, Dr. Vlad Ciurea says that we must consume “lots of fluids and fruits to keep our brain active and the whole body functioning”.
Dr. Vlad Ciurea: Heatstroke affects the whole body, not only the brain
“This phenomenon, which is called heat wave, affects the whole body. And we, who are still in a temperate climate, suddenly have heat, over heat, over heat and when certain temperatures remain high, the phenomenon of heat wave appears. Canicula means this wave of hot air, there is no longer any kind of wind, of coolness, and it affects the whole body, not only the brain. Breathing, digestion, skin, everything suffers!”explains doctor Vlad Ciurea.
As for the cerebral part, it suffers immensely from the heat wave, claims the renowned neurosurgeon
“The best protection is not to go out at those times. Is very difficult. But if we have to go outside, we should generally protect our heads, with these white hats that do us a lot of good, and drink fluids and not stay long in the strong sun. Because that noble substance, the brain substance, will be exposed to this excessive heat, and any person understands that this excessive heat, when we entered a warm, warm, warm room, the whole body suffers. But perpendicular heat to the skull, the cranium, the scalp, the hair, and the brain is like exposing it to an oven.” said neurosurgeon Vlad Ciurea.
