Things You are Doing to Stay Warm That are Actually Making You Colder
November 10, 2017
We all try little tricks to keep comfortable when the temperatures falls in Booneville. Though we wish they didn’t, some of those remedies are really making us frigid. One way you can definitely warm up? Have the team at Booneville Heating & Cooling LLC do regular
furnace maintenance
!
Take a look at some of the common myths about what will warm you up when the temperatures drop. These habits are actually making you colder!
Most body heat disappears 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 uncovered, more heat will disappear.
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 warmth. However, it may also help keep in your body heat in a similar way—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 chillier when you get out of the warm water. When you’re out in 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 make your core 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 cup of tea or coffee. Unfortunately, when you drink a warm beverage, your body will work against you and try to cool itself.
Sadly, some of the typical ways we try to stay warm are making us colder. If you want an easier way to keep warm, book your routine
