Things You are Doing to Stay Warm That are Actually Making You Colder
November 10, 2017
We all try some tricks to keep warm when the temperatures plummet in Sandpoint. Sadly, a number of those remedies are really making us chillier. One way you can definitely stay cozy? Have the pros at Age Heating & Cooling do annual
furnace maintenance
!
Check out some of the common myths about what will keepy you cozy when the temperatures drop. These routines are actually making you colder!
Most body heat disappears through your head, a hat is all you need
. Protect as much skin as possible to avoid heat loss. The amount of heat that disappears from your head is proportionate to the area of exposed skin in relation to the rest of your body. If more skin is uncovered, more heat will be lost.
Dark clothes absorb the heat from the sun
. Light colors reflect light and should only be worn during warmer temperatures. It’s true that white or light clothing will reflect the sun’s light. However, it may also reflect your body’s own heat back—essentially trapping your body’s temperature under your clothes.
A hot shower or bath will warm you up
. Unfortunately, you’re only going to feel a bad chill when you leave the warm water. When you’re out in cold air, the water will evaporate off your skin leaving you feeling chilly.
Alcoholic beverages can warm you up
. Alcohol can warm up your skin, but it can also make your temperature drop. You’ll still be left feeling cold.
Making warm drinks will keep you warm
. This is a classic treatment for when you’re feeling cold. Nothing is more reassuring that the nice toasty feeling you get when you’re holding a warm mug. Unfortunately, when you drink a warm beverage, your body will work against you and start to cool itself.
Unfortunately, some of the typical ways we try to stay warm are making us colder. If you want a better way to keep warm, book your routine
