Things You are Doing to Stay Warm That are Actually Making You Colder
November 10, 2017
We all try some tricks to keep cozy when the temperatures drop in Phoenix. Sadly, a number of those remedies are really making us colder. One way you can definitely warm up? Have the team at Dial One Mears Air Conditioning & Heating Inc do routine

Take a look at some of the common myths about what will warm you up when the temperatures plumet. These habits are actually making you colder!
Most body heat vanishes through your head, a hat is all that’s required
. Protect 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 disappear.
Dark clothes absorb the heat from the sun
. Light colors reflect light and should only be worn during the spring and summer. It’s true that white or light clothing will reflect the sun’s light. However, it may also reflect your body’s own heat back—essentially trapping your body heat under your clothes.
A hot shower or bath will warm you up
. Unfortunately, you’re only going to feel a bad chill when you leave the warm water. When you’re in the 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.
Drinking warm drinks will keep you warm
. This is a classic treatment for when you’re feeling cold. Nothing is more comforting that the nice toasty feeling you get when you’re holding a warm cup of tea or coffee. Unfortunately, when you drink a warm beverage, your body will work against you and try to cool itself.
Unfortunately, some of the usual ways we try to keep warm are making us colder. If you want a better way to keep warm, set up your routine
