Cold waves have been coming one following another recently, and the weather has been unbearably cold. People have used all kinds of heating methods, including cotton-padded clothes, sweaters, windbreakers, heating packs, electric heaters… Huang Xuan, a thoracic and critical care specialist, reminded that people have used many heating methods recently, but only the “following two” wrong heating behaviors must be cautious because they may affect human life safety.

A. Two wrong heating methods:

1. Smoking to keep warm

Smoking in the cold wind is dangerous to your health!

When you are outdoors in the winter, your body will feel very cold. Smokers will think: “It’s too cold. Hurry up and go in. Don’t stay for a long time.” Often at this time, they will smoke very fast and take a big sip of a cigarette, and then smoke in like this. The harmful substances contained in it may be several times that of normal smoking, and they are also very harmful to the body. What’s more, when you smoke, your blood vessels will constrict, become brittle, and harden, which will naturally increase blood pressure and easily lead to stroke, myocardial infarction and other diseases in winter.

2. Drink to keep warm

Drinking alcohol cannot warm your hands and feet.

After drinking alcohol, you do experience a brief feeling of fever. That’s because alcohol can stimulate blood vessels to dilate and accelerate blood circulation, making the body feel warmer. Therefore, drinking alcohol will increase the temperature of human skin and produce a feeling of warmth.

This warm feeling of alcohol does not last long. Because the more the blood vessels on the body surface are dilated and relaxed, the body heat will dissipate faster, causing the body temperature to drop sharply; your body will dissipate heat faster and consume far more calories than alcohol supplies.

The blood vessels will not have time to contract, preventing the blood from dissipating heat, and the body’s ability to resist cold will be reduced, making people prone to colds or colds, or even hypothermia and sudden death!

B. Entering and exiting a place where the temperature difference changes greatly

If you are already indoors and do not have enough warm clothes, the temperature difference between your indoor and outdoor areas will usually be very large at this time. You should be careful at this time, because American research has told us that it is not just “sudden cardiac death”, Even “cerebrovascular occlusive disease” starts when the “temperature difference is greater than 5°C” and becomes increasingly dangerous.

Especially those who have no previous medical history (hypertension, smokers and alcoholics, people < 60 years old, 4 times the risk of acute stroke), will think that they are very healthy.

C. Final words of advice:

1. The weather is too cold. When entering or exiting a place with a large temperature difference, remember to wear warm clothes before entering or exiting!

2. The weather is too cold. Smoking and drinking under the cold wind outside can really kill people.

Dr. Huang Xuan has repeatedly emphasized that your good health habits are the best tool for saving your life in daily life!
