Things You are Doing to Stay Warm That are Actually Making You Colder
November 10, 2017
We all try little tricks to keep warm when the temperatures plummet in Huntingburg. Though we wish they didn’t, some of those remedies are really making us colder. One way you can definitely stay cozy? Have the team at Dearing's Service & Solutions do routine

Take a look at some of the common myths about what will warm you up when the temperatures decreases. These things are actually making you colder!
Most body heat escapes through your head, a hat is all you need
. Guard as much skin as possible to avoid heat loss. The amount of heat that disappears from your head is proportionate to the area of exposed skin in relation to the rest of your body. If more skin is out in the open, more heat will escape.
Dark clothes absorb the heat from the sun
. Light colors reflect light and should only be worn during warmer temperatures. It’s true that white or light clothing will reflect the sun’s light. However, it may also help keep in your body heat in a similar way—essentially trapping your body warmth under your clothes.
A steamy shower or bath will warm you up
. Unfortunately, you’re only going to feel chillier when you leave 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 temperature drop. You’ll still be left feeling cold.
Having warm drinks will keep you warm
. This is a classic treatment for when you’re feeling cold. Nothing is more reassuring that the nice toasty feeling you get when you’re holding a warm cup of tea or coffee. Unfortunately, once you drink a warm beverage, your body will work against you and start to cool itself.
Unfortunately, some of the typical ways we try to remain warm are making us colder. If you want an easier way to keep warm, set up your routine
