A recent study from a Swiss hospital indicates that night shift workers, even when eating less, experience increased metabolic stress and blood sugar fluctuations due to disrupted circadian rhythms. Here are the key findings from the research and dietary advice from nutritionist Lao Gu: 📊 Core Research Findings • Increased Blood Sugar Swings: During a 3-day night shift period, despite reduced total calorie, protein, and fat intake, blood sugar swings increased, with more pronounced post-meal glucose spikes. • Impact of Meal Timing: Eating before 5 AM was associated with higher blood sugar variability. • Protein Offers Protection: Individuals with a higher proportion of protein intake tended to have lower blood sugar fluctuations. 🍱 3 Major Dietary Strategies for Night Shift Workers • Ensure Adequate Protein at Every Meal: Prioritize sources like fish, eggs, tofu, unsweetened soy milk, and dairy products to help stabilize blood sugar. • Pay Attention to Fiber Intake: Night shift workers generally have insufficient fiber intake (less than 30g). Increase consumption of vegetables, mushrooms, seaweed, and whole grains. • Reduce Reliance on Snacks: Prepare meals or healthy snacks in advance to avoid prolonged fasting and subsequent binge eating before going home.

According to the latest data from the Central Weather Administration, Typhoon Roke has slightly weakened in intensity over the past 3 hours. Its center is currently located east of Eluanbi and is moving northwest to north-northwest, posing a threat to Taiwan's landmass. The CWA stated that seas around Taiwan will experience strong winds and high waves of over 3 meters today and tomorrow (22nd and 23rd). Especially along the eastern coast (including Lanyu and Green Island), Keelung's northern coast, and the Hengchun Peninsula, waves of over 6 meters are expected. Long waves may occur along the coasts of Keelung (northern part), northern and central Taiwan, eastern Taiwan (including Lanyu and Green Island), Hengchun Peninsula, Penghu, and Matsu. Please avoid activities near the sea. Outdoor hanging objects, signs, fences, and scaffolding should be securely fastened, and potted plants on balconies should be placed safely. The CWA pointed out that due to the subsidence effect of the typhoon's circulation, there is a chance of Föhn wind occurring in the southeastern region on the 23rd and 24th. There is also a chance of Föhn wind occurring in the eastern region starting tomorrow night. Hualien County and Taitung County will be under a yellow alert on the 23rd and 24th, so please be cautious.

Positional Asphyxia refers to asphyxiation death caused by prolonged maintenance of an abnormal body posture, leading to airway obstruction or compression of the chest cavity, preventing normal expansion, and ultimately resulting in oxygen deprivation. This situation typically occurs when the individual is unable to change their position independently. Common high-risk factors include: • Influence of Drugs and Alcohol: Individuals who are heavily intoxicated or have overdosed on drugs may have dulled brain responses, losing their instinctive ability to struggle when in a prone position or with their head inverted. • Infant and Toddler Safety Concerns: Infants are at high risk of airway compression if they sleep on their stomachs on overly soft mattresses or sofas, or if their heads tilt too far forward in infant car seats. • Law Enforcement Restraint: During arrests or restraints, prolonged prone positioning of a suspect on the ground with weight applied from the back can severely restrict their chest's ability to breathe. • Accidental Entrapment: Being trapped in narrow crevices due to car accidents, falls, or becoming unconscious due to injury can lead to the body being folded or the head remaining below the torso for extended periods. The key to preventing positional asphyxia is maintaining an open airway. When caring for infants and toddlers, adhere to the 'back to sleep' principle. For intoxicated or unconscious individuals, assist them into the 'recovery position' (lying on their side). During medical or law enforcement restraints, strictly limit prone positioning time and constantly monitor the restrained person's breathing and complexion. If breathing difficulties or confusion are observed, immediately release the restraint and seek medical attention.

In high-temperature environments, scientific hydration is key to preventing heat injuries during work or exercise. Here's a guide to heatstroke prevention and hydration for daily life, during activities, and after activities: Recommended Daily Basic Water Intake • General Adults: Daily basic water intake should be Body Weight (kg) × 30-35 ml (e.g., a 60kg person needs about 1,800-2,100 ml). • For those working or exercising in high temperatures: Due to significant sweating, an additional 1,000-2,000 ml of fluids and electrolytes should be supplemented daily. Heatstroke Prevention Hydration Schedule for Work and Exercise Hydration should follow the principles of 'regular timing, fixed quantity, and slow consumption.' Never wait until you're thirsty to drink water: 1. Before Activity (2 hours prior): Drink 400-600 ml of fluids in portions to pre-hydrate your body. 2. During Activity (every 15-20 minutes): Regularly replenish with 150-200 ml of fluids. • If activity exceeds 1 hour or involves heavy sweating, half of the fluid intake must be replaced with electrolyte drinks or sports beverages to maintain sodium-potassium balance and prevent water intoxication. 3. After Activity (within 2 hours): Check your weight loss. For every 0.5 kg of body weight lost, replenish with approximately 450-675 ml of fluids and adequate electrolytes until urine color returns to clear light yellow.

When heat exhaustion or heatstroke occurs, the core principles of on-site first aid are 'Shade, Loosen Clothing, Cool Down, Hydrate, and Seek Medical Attention.' Regardless of the situation, follow these steps: 1. Move to a Cool Place: Immediately move the patient to a cool, well-ventilated area or an air-conditioned room. 2. Loosen Clothing: Unbutton shirts, loosen belts, and remove outer clothing to help the skin dissipate heat. 3. Physical Cooling: • Apply ice packs or wet towels to areas with major blood vessels, such as the neck, armpits, and groin. • Spray the entire body with room-temperature water and fan to accelerate evaporative cooling. 4. Assess Consciousness and Seek Medical Attention: • Heatstroke (Unconscious): Do not give fluids to prevent choking and suffocation. Immediately call 119 for transport to a hospital and continue cooling while waiting. • Heat Exhaustion (Conscious): Fluids and electrolytes can be given. If symptoms do not improve or worsen after rest and cooling, medical attention is also necessary. 🔖 Preparing an Electrolyte Solution for Heat Exhaustion Patients If commercial sports drinks are unavailable, you can refer to the World Health Organization's (WHO) guidelines for oral rehydration salts to prepare drinking water with an appropriate ratio of water and electrolytes for conscious heat exhaustion patients. Use clean drinking water for preparation, add appropriate amounts of salt and sugar to aid water absorption, and have the patient drink slowly in small sips to help replenish lost electrolytes. If the patient is unconscious or continues to feel unwell, do not force them to drink and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Heat exhaustion and heatstroke are different stages of heat illness development. If heat exhaustion is not treated promptly, it can very likely worsen into life-threatening heatstroke. Here is a comparison of the core symptoms and differences between the two: • Core Body Temperature: Patients with heat exhaustion usually have a normal or slightly elevated body temperature (typically below 40°C). In heatstroke, the thermoregulatory center malfunctions, causing the core body temperature to soar above 40°C. • State of Consciousness: Patients with heat exhaustion are fully conscious, possibly accompanied by dizziness and weakness. Patients with heatstroke have brain damage and may exhibit mental confusion, slurred speech, seizures, or even coma. • Skin and Sweating: Patients with heat exhaustion sweat profusely, and their skin appears cool, clammy, and pale. Patients with heatstroke (especially the traditional type) often have dry, hot, and red skin due to the inability to sweat (early stages of exertional heatstroke may still involve sweating). • Other Accompanying Symptoms: Heat exhaustion is often accompanied by extreme thirst, nausea, vomiting, and muscle cramps (heat cramps) due to fluid and salt loss. Heatstroke is accompanied by signs of systemic organ failure, such as a very rapid heartbeat and rapid breathing.

Heatstroke is a severe heat injury that can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. The main symptoms of heatstroke can be divided into the following three core manifestations: 1. Elevated Core Body Temperature: The patient's rectal or ear temperature will typically exceed 40°C (104°F), which is a key indicator distinguishing heatstroke from milder heat exhaustion. 2. Altered Mental Status: The brain is damaged by the high temperature, leading to confusion, slurred speech, hallucinations, agitation, seizures, and even rapid loss of consciousness. 3. Abnormal Skin Condition: • Classic Heatstroke (common in the elderly or those with chronic illnesses): The skin is usually dry, red, and unable to sweat. • Exertional Heatstroke (common in those exercising or working in high temperatures): The skin may be extremely moist and sweaty. Additionally, early symptoms may include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, rapid heart rate, and rapid breathing. If the above symptoms are observed, call emergency services immediately and transport the patient to a hospital. While waiting, move the person to a cool place, loosen their clothing, and use wet towels or ice packs to help cool them down physically.
