For several days I have been walking through the frosty streets, watching and noticing how many mistakes some comrades make, putting their health at risk, according to the online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net ERROR #1 - RESPIRATORY. There are many people on the street who wrap their nose and mouth with a scarf.. And this is a prelude to a sore throat or bronchitis. The steam exhaled into the wool turns into ice under the influence of frost, frost forms on the scarf, and the following portions of air will enter the body through this ice layer, that is, the air becomes even colder.

MISTAKE #2 - NOSE. This error explains the first. If a person wraps his face with a scarf, it means that the nose does not breathe and you have to capture oxygen with your mouth, and it is very difficult not to inhale, but to swallow frosty air. So the hand stretches to the face - somehow hide behind. Therefore, it is very important to thoroughly clean the nose and only then go outside in the cold..

MISTAKE #3 - Nasal. To restore the breath of a stuffy nose, many people use nasal drops.. Do not do this before going out into the cold.. Nasal drops constrict blood vessels in the nasopharynx. In the cold, blood vessels can receive an order from the brain to narrow again. A very unpleasant sensation then occurs in the nasopharynx - dryness, perspiration. And the mucosa no longer performs its main functions - it does not protect against microorganisms, it does not warm the inhaled air as it should.

MISTAKE #4 - CONVERSIVE. Quite often one has to observe such a picture: all shriveled, trembling, with a nervously jumping gait, the unfortunate bastard rushes, not noticing anything around him. But here she is - a pharmacy. Come in, warm up? No, I ran past. And this is a very big mistake.. It would be more correct at the first symptoms of just beginning freezing to immediately enter any room (shop, cafe, pharmacy) for a few minutes - warm up. And then move on.

MISTAKE #5 - RESPIRATORY. At low minuses it is impossible to breathe deeply. Yes, it's dangerous to health.. You have to breathe in small portions of air. As a result, sooner or later comes hypoxia (lack of oxygen). Rather, it is just beginning, and the body is already demanding to eliminate it: breathe deeper and more often. The load on the heart increases, as it increases the number of contractions per minute in order to increase the intensity of blood circulation and at least in this way bring more oxygen to the cells. Against this background, someone starts tachycardia, someone experiences a severe headache. In general, trouble. But people endure and still run faster and faster to their destination. In fact, it’s better to lose a few minutes, but go to a cafe-pharmacy store to catch your breath properly, get enough oxygen.

Hypothermia: your actions!

In winter, sometimes a fifteen-minute wait for transport or a short walk through a snow-covered park is enough to freeze “to the bone”. Even at zero air temperature, it is easy to get your shoes wet, get cold feet, and wake up the next morning.. Many people also make this mistake - they get drunk on hot tea and immediately go out into the street.. There is logic in this, of course.. Hot tea increases blood circulation, thereby increasing the body's defenses.. But at the same time, the blood vessels dilate.. So, going out into the cold with dilated blood vessels, we immediately lose quite a lot of our own heat.. After hot tea or coffee, you can go outside no earlier than half an hour.

ERROR #7 - WASH. For the same reason, you should never take a shower before going outside.. Hypothermia will come even faster! In general, we must be ready to rearrange things, abandon the usual course of action during severe frosts..

ERROR #8 - HEAD. This mistake is made mostly by our ladies..

Having washed their hair in the morning, due to the eternal fuss and haste, many do not dry their hair thoroughly and go outside with a little damp. It is absolutely impossible to do this, since the process of losing one's own body temperature increases both from wet clothes and wet hair.

In conclusion, I want to admit that there are more and more people who do not shake, do not jump, do not squish their nose, but walk calmly and relaxed along a frosty street.. And it pleases. So they are doing everything right..
