Things You are Doing to Stay Warm That are Actually Making You Colder
November 10, 2017
We all try some tricks to keep warm when the temperatures drop in Bartlesville. Sadly, some of those remedies are truly making us colder. One way you can definitely warm up? Have the team at Farris Heating & Air do regular
furnace maintenance
!
Read up on some of the common myths about what will keepy you cozy when the temperatures plumet. These habits are actually making you colder!
Most body heat vanishes through your head, a hat is all you need
. Protect 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 exposed, 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 light. However, it may also help you keep your body heat by reflecting it back—essentially trapping your body heat under your clothes.
A scorching shower or bath will warm you up
. Unfortunately, you’re only going to feel a bad chill when you move out of the warm water. When you’re exposed to cold air, the water will evaporate off your skin leaving you feeling frigid.
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 remedy for when you’re feeling cold. Nothing is more soothing that the nice toasty feeling you get when you’re holding a warm drink. Unfortunately, after you drink a warm beverage, your body will work against you and start to cool itself.
Sadly, some of the classic ways we try to remain warm are making us colder. If you want an easier way to keep warm, book your routine
