Things You are Doing to Stay Warm That are Actually Making You Colder
November 10, 2017
We all try small tricks to keep cozy when the temperatures drop in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, a number of those remedies are actually making us frigid. One way you can definitely keep warm? Have the experts at AZ Air Conditioning and Heating do annual
furnace maintenance
!
Read up on some of the common myths about what will warm you up when the temperatures plumet. These routines are actually making you colder!
Most body heat escapes through your head, a hat is all that’s required
. Protect as much skin as possible to avoid heat loss. The amount of heat that vanishes 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 reflect your body’s own heat back—essentially trapping your body heat under your clothes.
A steamy shower or bath will warm you up
. Unfortunately, you’re only going to feel chillier when you leave 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.
Drinking warm drinks will keep you warm
. This is a classic cure for when you’re feeling cold. Nothing is more comforting that the nice toasty feeling you get when you’re holding a warm mug. Unfortunately, after you drink a warm beverage, your body will work against you and begin to cool itself.
Sadly, some of the classic ways we try to stay warm are making us colder. If you want a simplier way to keep warm, book your routine
