Let's see what doctors think about drafts.

How does a draft affect health?

If a stream of cold air at high speed affects a person, it can harm his health and reduce immunity.

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.
