In HCM City and southern Vietnam, the ambient temperature has been between 36-38C. Where there is no greenery, scorching heat can cause temperatures to peak at 40 degrees Celsius. This can exhaust everyone, especially while working outside. 

It was only 10am but it was already scorching hot, which caused Mr. Nguyen Minh Tuan, a construction worker in Go Vap District, HCM City, to be drenched in sweat and always in an exhausted state.

“With such heat, the construction site is like a frying pan. All the workers are drenched in their own sweat. Sometimes, we are so exhausted and have zero energy left. Every 1-2 hours, we need to have a drink. We have 3-4 bottles a day to cool down and replenish our energy," Tuan said. 

Many other lines of work which require outdoor commutes are facing challenges due to extreme heat like delivery, security, city cleaning and more.

The heat seems to crush everyone’s concentration and energy. In reality, working and toiling under extreme heat, the body expends more energy than normal which can easily lead to exhaustion. 

This can make the body feel tired and uncomfortable. In more serious cases, many can encounter heat exhaustion and heatstroke with symptoms like dizziness, blurred vision and inability to continue work.

To reduce the direct impact from outdoor temperatures, workers need to wear protective gear with UV-proof materials that are airy and sweat-wicking to shield the body from the sun, especially their head and neck. 

They need to take drinks to quench their thirst and at the same time replenish their energy instantly. 

“In the past, when we were tired on site, we would just drink purified water to quench our thirst but that could only help for a few moments. The body quickly became tired, exhausted, unable to keep up the work. At noon, the body felt like it had zero energy left. I was told to drink Number 1 energy drink, which not only helped to quench thirst but also instantly boosted energy and alertness. I have tried it and can see that it works. That’s how I know why this drink is a popular choice among everyone at the construction site," Tuan said. 

External conditions like hot weather or working late into the night are factors affecting workers’ mind and performance. Keeping their energy and being alert is the important key to overcome these extreme conditions. 

In order to do so, many workers have chosen Number 1 Energy Drink as a solution to their work. A drink with delicious taste along with energy and alertness-boosting ingredients can help them confidently continue work and overcome barriers. 

“Construction is a physically demanding line of work. Heavy workload coupled with extreme heat sometimes bring me to my knees, thinking about quitting. However, construction work is sort of like my destiny, which is hard to depart from. When I found out about Number 1 Energy Drink, my energy and alertness were boosted. It makes overcoming work pressure easier," Tuan said.
