Things You are Doing to Stay Warm That are Actually Making You Colder
November 10, 2017
We all try some tricks to keep cozy when the temperatures falls in Georgetown. Sadly, a few of those remedies are truly making us colder. One way you can definitely keep warm? Have the team at Miller Climate Control LLC do regular
furnace maintenance
!
Check out some of the common myths about what will help you warm up when the temperatures plumet. These habits are actually making you colder!
Most body heat escapes through your head, a hat is all you need
. Guard 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 out in the open, more heat will escape.
Dark clothes absorb the heat from the sun
. Light colors reflect light and should only be worn during the spring and summer. It’s true that white or light clothing will reflect the sun’s light. However, it may also help keep in your body heat in a similar way—essentially trapping your body heat under your clothes.
A hot shower or bath will warm you up
. Unfortunately, you’re only going to feel chillier when you move out of the warm water. When you’re out in 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 core temperature drop. You’ll still be left feeling cold.
Making warm drinks will keep you warm
. This is a classic cure for when you’re feeling cold. Nothing is more reassuring that the nice toasty feeling you get when you’re holding a warm drink. Unfortunately, once you drink a warm beverage, your body will work against you and try to cool itself.
Though it’s unfortunate, some of the classic ways we try to stay warm are making us colder. If you want a better way to keep warm, set up your routine
