5 things you should pay attention to in order not to freeze this winter

There's definitely something wrong with the climate. We didn't wait for summer this year, and there was no snow for the New Year. Although winter, albeit belatedly, still came. In some places, she didn't even come, but just fell in. From minus 60, even the frost-resistant residents of Yakutia were slightly stunned. The weather in the European part of Russia is far from resort-like. On this occasion, we have prepared a socially responsible material on how to protect yourself from hypothermia.

Good appetite

The first tip is the most pleasant. To freeze less, eat more. To effectively resist the cold, the body needs the energy it receives when splitting food. Lean on high-calorie foods like meat, butter, sour cream and lard. Are you afraid to get better? In vain. Remove the fat layer in the spring, but for now it will serve you well. Adipose tissue has low thermal conductivity and, accordingly, provides good energy efficiency. So tell those who will complain about your form.

Clothing in the style of "cabbage"

In clothes, it is worth adhering to the principle of cabbage. The more layers, the better. The fact is that in the cold, we are warmed by the warm air contained in the fibers of the fabric, and 15 clothes without fasteners will accumulate it more than the thickest jacket. First of all, of course, it is worth taking care of the torso. Frozen feet and hands are evidence that there is not enough heat for vital organs, and the body has thrown all resources at their heating, forgetting about the limbs.

Down is best to wear thermal underwear made of high-quality synthetics. Natural materials absorb sweat like a sponge, and as a result you find yourself in a wet and cold T-shirt. And synthetics removes moisture from the body, leaving it dry. As for down jackets and jackets, the main thing here is the lining. You need a lightweight polyester that retains a large amount of heat and does not roll into lumps when washing.

When buying winter clothes, many people overpay for the big name of a foreign brand, although some Russian manufacturers offer no less high-quality things, and the prices are much lower. Parks that save well from the cold are sewn by Nordwestfur. Their products are technologically made so that they are equally comfortable at minus 10 and at minus 50. In addition, any model is ready to be adjusted to the individual characteristics of the constitution.

Adequate shoes and mittens

When the trunk is securely protected, you can take care of the limbs. In winter, forget about your commitment to fashion trends and give up tight, tight shoes. It narrows blood vessels, which leads to a deterioration of blood circulation. In addition, there is almost no room for an air layer inside. The sole, of course, should be thick. However, winter shoes with thin soles should still be looked for. When choosing between gloves and mittens, discard any doubts. Only mittens. In them, the fingers touch and heat each other.

Warming, but not hot drinks

You need to drink in the cold. No, not alcohol — it only masks the cold, but the body actually freezes. And not even coffee, because it narrows blood vessels no worse than tight shoes. Tea with lemon or ginger and hot chocolate are your rescuers in the February cold. If you have a short run to the subway, drink a cup before going out, but for a long stay in the open air, we recommend getting a thermos.

You will find really high-quality thermoses, and not plastic crafts with questionable functionality, in the catalog of the company "Arctic". There are both hiking options, and everyday ones, from which it is convenient to drink on the go, and gift ones with the possibility of engraving. The manufacturer gives a five-year guarantee that the thermos will protect the temperature of your drinks according to the precepts of Swiss banks.

Thermocosmetics

Men, of course, are unlikely to agree to such experiments. It's better to freeze to death than to put cream on — typical male logic. But representatives of the beautiful half of humanity warming cosmetics will bring a lot of pleasant sensations. For example, fir oil applied to the face will protect against frostbite even in the most severe frost. And the closed parts of the body can be smeared if desired — it will definitely not be superfluous.
