Precautions for using cooling mats in summer
In the hot summer, cool mats are loved by people and are a great product to help middle-aged and elderly people cool down. However, when using them, the following points should be noted:
(1) Choose a suitable cooling mat: Generally, do not use low-quality grass mats for home cooling mats, as grass mats are prone to mites and are often allergens; People with a history of skin allergies can choose finely woven bamboo or rattan cooling mats.
For middle-aged people, bamboo mats are more suitable for use. However, if patients suffer from visceral or joint diseases, they should choose warm grass mats and not sleep on cold bamboo mats to avoid catching a cold and triggering joint diseases.
(2) Pay attention to room temperature: When using a cooling mat in summer, pay attention to changes in room temperature. Regardless of the type of mat used, the room temperature should not be too low when used at night, especially when the air conditioning is not turned on for a long time. Even if the air conditioning is turned on, the temperature should not be too low, generally around 26 ℃ is recommended. It is best to lay another blanket when sleeping at night, especially to ensure that the shoulders, spine, and abdomen do not get cold.
In addition, do not immediately lie on a cool mat after exercise, otherwise the dilated sweat pores and capillaries will rapidly contract under stimulation due to contact with the mat, leading to symptoms such as vascular headache in a short period of time. Therefore, after exercising, you can take a warm shower or use a towel moistened with warm water to wipe off sweat from your body, and then touch the cooling mat.
