During frosty weather, dress warmly, do not wear low socks and drink enough water. This was announced on Wednesday, December 22, by the therapist Aleksey Khukhrev.
“There is an old Russian saying: keep your feet warm. We now have a fashion to walk in low socks in any weather. I even saw such people yesterday. And this, of course, can lead to problems, “he said in an interview with “Moscow 24”…
The doctor explained that a sufficient amount of water must be drunk in order for the blood to “flow” well and warm the body. From frost the capillaries contract, and if there is a lack of fluid, the human body can cool down much faster, he noted.
In addition, the specialist does not recommend wearing a mask outside during extreme cold weather. According to him, in this case, moisture condenses quickly, so the mask can turn into a piece of ice and prevent a person from breathing.
Khukhrev also noted that it is not worth rubbing the frozen parts of the body with snow, as this can only aggravate the situation.
“A frostbitten part of the body, as a rule, loses its sensitivity. And people, starting to “warm up”, only cause additional trauma to the already damaged skin, “the doctor explained.
In addition, another common mistake in cold weather is not to take extra warm clothes when traveling by car, complements RT…
Earlier that day, therapist Nadezhda Chernyshova said that at low temperatures the mask quickly gets wet and becomes ineffective, it can even cause skin problems. The therapist also warned that in severe frosts, the moist crust on the mask freezes, touches the cheeks and can lead to frostbite.
The day before, Andrei Tyazhelnikov, the chief freelance specialist in primary care for adults of the Moscow Department of Health, said that severe frosts are especially dangerous for people with chronic respiratory diseases. They may have shortness of breath, cough, exacerbation of diseases.
