Things You are Doing to Stay Warm That are Actually Making You Colder
November 10, 2017
We all try small tricks to keep comfortable when the temperatures plummet in Chelan and Wenatchee. Unfortunately, some of those remedies are actually making us colder. One way you can definitely warm up? Have the team at Lakeside Heating & Air do annual
furnace maintenance
!
Check out some of the common myths about what will warm you up when the temperatures plumet. These habits 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 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 escape.
Dark clothes absorb the heat from the sun
. Light colors reflect light and should only be worn during the warmer season. It’s true that white or light clothing will reflect the sun’s rays. However, it may also help you keep your body heat by reflecting it 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 move out of the warm water. When you’re exposed to 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.
Having warm drinks will keep you warm
. This is a classic treatment for when you’re feeling cold. Nothing is more comforting 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 begin to cool itself.
Though it’s unfortunate, some of the typical ways we try to keep warm are making us colder. If you want an easier way to keep warm, schedule your routine
