When it's incredibly hot outside, air conditioning is our salvation or the cause of summer colds?
Europe is now experiencing a real historical heatwave. If for us this is to some extent a relief and joy from the endless rains and the first month of summer that was actually missed due to the cold, then for Europe there is actually a virtual collapse.
The following is the text in the original language. France voiced the deepest ("
For the first time in history, the Netherlands announced the worst level of heat stress, and Great Britain recorded the worst stormy day in its entire history.. More than two hundred people have already died in Spain... It’s important that this has never happened before. It is dangerous and fearful to highlight the headlines of the world's media about the number of fatal outbreaks, in which some people died immediately from heatstroke and decompensation of chronic illnesses, and another large part - under the hour of severe stress.
What are the official recommendations The greatest concern is for adults, young children, pregnant women and patients with heart disease, pulmonary disease and narcotic diseases, according to the official recommendations..
No one should go against these recommendations.. Absolutely logical. Air conditioning is an excellent and effective way to prevent overheating and heat stroke. However, MILK in this year's season is the cause of thousands of summer colds, sinusitis, activation of herpes and worsening chronic illnesses.
Let's figure out where we can get rid of it and how we can get away with it.
In fact, the air conditioner can be the cause of illness? The air conditioner itself does not cause sinusitis, sinusitis, sore throat, or bronchitis. They are primarily caused by viruses or bacteria. Let’s face it, the main culprits of “air conditioning colds” are the very last ones – bacteria. Why, without sounding sarcastic, OUR VALUE bacteria. How we live on the mucous membranes of the nasopharynx and are easily activated when things become wrong with us.
On the right is that improper use of air conditioner creates such damage, for which it will be more important for the body to protect itself from infection.
If a person enters from +38 °C in the room, and the air conditioner has cooled the room to +18 °C, the mucous membrane of the nose and upper respiratory tract senses a corresponding temperature shock. Due to sudden cooling, the fragmented vessels of the mucous membrane are heard, it dries up, and the particulate epithelium that gradually cleanses our respiratory ducts from the saw, bacteria and viruses, begins to produce less. Dry mucus becomes thicker, and the mucous immune system gradually weakens.
At the same time, a person in the office is coughing a lot, and when the blood flows, the bacteria and virus are spread to colleagues - and there are still a lot of them circulating - infections become easier to take hold of. To put it simply: we are exposed to moisture bacteria on the mucous membranes.
Bacterial sinusitis, which everyone is so afraid of, is not to blame “due to the cold”. Through the fire, the mucous membrane of the nose becomes swollen, ventilation in the nasal sinuses is disrupted, mucus accumulates in them, and even bacteria, which already live in our nasopharynx, deprive us of amenable minds for reproduction.. From this.
Also, how to use air conditioning correctly? We don’t need to worry about turning the room into a refrigerator first.. This gives a feeling of comfort and calm, but in fact, in a very hot climate, a temperature that is comfortable for most people is around 24–26 °C, and the difference between the temperature on the street and in the surrounding area should NOT be overestimated. The sharpest temperature changes create the greatest stress on the body.
And a very important point: DO NOT sit or sleep under a direct stream of cold wind. This is one of the most extensive pardons. As the wind continues, people may pass by, and not be straight at the face, neck or back. This could be the cause of another very unacceptable illness - relapse of herpes type 3 - chickenpox. The culprit is the name of the operating lichen: even painful viscera, for the bathing of the face, for summer people who have become ill, hospitalization may be necessary. And all - because of the highly directed flow of cold wind on the face and back... I was quite surprised at such patients, believe me... Father, congratulations:
It’s not worth being afraid of air conditioners. During periods of intense heat, the stench helps relieve overheating of the body, reduces the risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and for summer people, children and patients with heart disease, it literally melts.
The problem is not in the air conditioner itself. The problem is the wrong one. So, follow a few simple rules and everything will be fine!
Take care of yourself and don’t get sick!
