Things to do to reduce fatigue in hot summer

MINH CHÂU (báo lao động) 25/05/2026 09:48 (GMT+7)

Sweating a lot in hot weather can cause the body to lose water and electrolytes, thereby causing feelings of fatigue, lethargy or dizziness.

1. Common signs of fatigue in summer

Sometimes feeling tired is normal, but if the situation lasts, you need to pay attention to some signs such as:

Tired even after getting enough sleep

Frequent headaches, dizziness

Muscle weakness or cramps

Difficulty concentrating, mental impairment

Irritability, mood swings

Pale skin, shortness of breath

Many people often see this as just a sign of hot weather, but in some cases, this can also be a health warning sign that needs to be monitored.

2. Some common nutritional deficiencies in the summer

Hot weather and irregular eating habits can cause the body to lack some important nutrients:

Vitamin D deficiency: Even in sunny weather, some people are still deficient in vitamin D due to less direct sun exposure. This condition can cause fatigue and weakness.

Vitamin B12 deficiency: Vitamin B12 plays an important role in energy production and nerve activity. When deficiency occurs, the body is easily tired and loses concentration.

Iron deficiency: This condition is quite common, especially in women, can cause anemia, making the body sluggish and reduced endurance.

Electrolytic imbalance: Losing sodium, potassium, magnesium through excessive sweating can affect the normal functioning of the body, causing fatigue and cramps.

3. How to limit fatigue in the summer

To reduce feelings of fatigue in hot weather, you should adhere to these:

Drink enough water, supplement electrolytes when necessary

Balanced diet, increase green vegetables and fruits

Limit the use of too many caffeinated or sugary drinks

Get enough sleep, maintain regular living

Avoid staying outdoors in the hot sun for too long

Proactively check your health if fatigue persists or abnormal signs appear.
