Things You are Doing to Stay Warm That are Actually Making You Colder
November 10, 2017
We all try some tricks to keep comfortable when the temperatures falls in Muldrow. Sadly, some of those remedies are actually making us colder. One way you can definitely keep warm? Have the team at Air Service Co. do annual
furnace maintenance
!
Read up on some of the common myths about what will warm you up when the temperatures drop. These routines are actually making you colder!
Most body heat escapes through your head, a hat is all you have to have
. Cover as much skin as possible to avoid heat loss. The amount of heat that escapes from your head is proportionate to the area of exposed skin in relation to the rest of your body. If more skin is out in the open, more heat will disappear.
Dark clothes absorb the heat from the sun
. Light colors reflect light and should only be worn during the spring and summer. It’s true that white or light clothing will reflect the sun’s warmth. However, it may also help you keep your body heat by reflecting it back—essentially trapping your body’s temperature under your clothes.
A scorching shower or bath will warm you up
. Unfortunately, you’re only going to feel a bad chill when you move out of the warm water. When you’re in the cold air, the water will evaporate off your skin leaving you feeling a chill.
Alcoholic beverages can warm you up
. Alcohol can warm up your skin, but it can also lower your core temperature. You’ll still be left feeling cold.
Having warm drinks will keep you warm
. This is a classic remedy for when you’re feeling cold. Nothing is more reassuring that the nice toasty feeling you get when you’re holding a warm drink. Unfortunately, when you drink a warm beverage, your body will work against you and start to cool itself.
Sadly, some of the usual ways we try to remain warm are making us colder. If you want a simplier way to keep warm, book your routine
