Winter has gradually begun to gain momentum. In some regions, severe frosts have already set in.
In winter, it is difficult to retain heat, so people often freeze.
After returning to a warm house, relief comes almost immediately. However, the chills in the extremities are felt for quite a long time.
Warm drinks
Almost all drinks will help you warm up after the cold. They should definitely be hot, not lukewarm. At the same time, you need to drink drinks in small sips.
The best choice would be black tea with honey or lemon slices. Such a drink will not only help you perk up, but also warm you up.
Foot bath
This is another popular method that will help you warm up quickly. If you had to wait for transport for a long time, then after coming home you need to fill a tub with hot water. You can also add essential oils or a little salt to the water.
If your feet are very cold, you will need to do a relaxing massage. Immediately after a warm bath, you need to dry your feet and put on warm socks.
The right lunch
Warm food will also help you warm up after being outside. This is a great way to not only warm up after the cold, but also to restore your strength. Experts say that in the cold, the body loses a lot of energy because it produces heat.
After frost, it is recommended to eat hearty food. The best choice would be soup with spices, potatoes or porridge.
Hot shower
This is another common way to warm up after a long stay outside. However, it should be noted that this method is only suitable for those who plan to rest immediately. Also, this method is not suitable for people with heart disease. In hot water, blood vessels expand greatly and blood flow increases.
When choosing a suitable method for warming up, you need to consider not only the effectiveness of the method, but also personal preferences. All the methods described in the article are proven, so they will help you warm up quickly.
What methods should you not use to warm up?
Many people continue to warm up with alcohol. However, it is not recommended to do so. Experts say that 50 grams of alcohol can normalize blood circulation, so there will be a feeling of warmth.
If you drink more alcohol, not only blood flow but also the body's heat output will increase. As a result, the chance of freezing increases significantly. To prevent this from happening, you need to give up alcohol or limit its dose to 50 grams.
At the first signs of a cold, many people begin to take medications that will help get rid of the symptoms.
However, it should be taken into account that such drugs do not eliminate the cold, but simply relieve the symptoms. Such powders contain a large amount of paracetamol, which greatly destroys the liver. In some cases, this leads to poisoning.
Taking medications that reduce symptoms should only be done in extreme cases.
If you are very cold, try to use only those methods that will not harm your health. Also try to dress well in cold weather.
