The landscapes around are fabulous, but the cold literally fetters and makes you think of only one thing - how to keep warm. In the cold, and even more so in windy weather, the question arises especially acute: how to keep warm? Ears, nose and fingers are the first to freeze. In such weather, you can freeze anything.
It is necessary
A person as a warm-blooded creature is able, regardless of circumstances, to maintain a constant body temperature, increasing his activity
Instructions
Step 1
If you have always "icy" legs and arms on the street. The reason is poor peripheral blood supply: the small vessels in the fingers, toes, and on the face are too narrow to provide a sufficient flow of hot blood. And when you are exposed to the cold, the blood vessels in your skin are narrowed even more. Don't wait for your fingers to be numb and numb. Rub your palms, stamp your feet, touch your toes in your shoes. You can hold your breath after vigorous exhalation and walk at a fast pace without breathing. You will feel that your fingers, which have already begun to grow numb in the cold, and toes that have not moved, are beginning to warm up. The warmth that was born in the lungs will begin to spread throughout the body … And so you can repeat it several times until you are completely warm. Bare skin contact with metal should also be avoided. It is better for women to give up metal jewelry - rings, earrings. The rings prevent normal blood circulation. Once in the room, you need to warm up the limbs gradually: under lukewarm water or near a heating radiator. To get rid of the problem at the root, train the vessels. Rub your fingers and toes in the morning and evening. A contrast shower will be useful.
Step 2
If you freeze on the street more than others. The reason is that the reserve reserves of glycogen in the liver and muscles are quickly depleted, and fats are involved in the process. During cold weather, it is better not to starve while dieting, but to eat well - a well-fed organism is better able to withstand cold weather and does not freeze. The extra weight is used to combat the cold. In winter, the diet should be increased by 300-400 kcal, contain a full set of vitamins and minerals, fatty acids, proteins and carbohydrates. To keep warm in cold weather, the diet should focus on complex carbohydrates. Kashi is a wonderful breakfast, lunch and dinner. Energy can also be obtained from proteins (dairy, meat products, fish). But in no case should you limit carbohydrates by eating more proteins. Increase the number of meat days per week, if there are no digestive problems, use spices and seasonings. "Hot" warming spices include: cardamom, cinnamon, bay leaves, cloves, red and black pepper, ginger, saffron, nutmeg, turmeric, cumin. They accelerate metabolism, strengthen immunity, and have antiseptic properties. Bitter chocolate, 30 grams a day has not hurt anyone yet. And useful substances, including antioxidants, will help both the brain and the whole body to survive the cold season. Before a walk, have a cup of hot sweet tea or coffee, they warm up perfectly from the inside. Honey is a natural antibiotic containing many vitamins and minerals that help to normalize metabolism.
Step 3
If you are freezing on the street even when you are dressed "like cabbage". Reason: incorrectly chosen clothes and shoes. In severe frosts, it is better to dress in layers, according to the principle of cabbage. It's easier to keep warm this way. Instead of one warm sweater, it is better to wear several light ones. Clothes and shoes should not be tight. Moreover, in severe frosts, mittens, especially fur mittens, are preferable to gloves. In the 21st century, clothing must be technological. Membrane fabrics are now widely used in the sewing of high-tech clothing and footwear. Such materials have several thinnest layers, treated with a special compound. The main property of membrane fabrics: with high impermeability to external moisture (rain, snow), the fabric has the ability to wick sweat away from the body. Thus, the body remains dry and the heat dissipation is reduced. Only one thing has changed: natural materials (fur, wool, down) are now inferior in their properties to synthetics. Modern synthetic insulation consists of the thinnest hollow fibers, which, thanks to weaving, create small cells that "accumulate" the heated air. When choosing synthetic clothes, avoid fakes!
