Also, a draft causes hypothermia and inflammation. It is important to understand that wind and standing cold air affect the body differently.

The blown-out organism does not have time to compensate for the loss of heat, which leads to the development of the disease.

Even if a small area of the body is exposed to the wind, this can cause a disruption in a person’s heat exchange, which leads to the development of flu, inflammation of muscles and nerve endings.
