Things You are Doing to Stay Warm That are Actually Making You Colder

Take a look at some of the common myths about what will help you warm up when the temperatures plumet. These habits are actually making you colder!
Most body heat escapes through your head, a hat is all that’s required
. Guard as much skin as possible to avoid heat loss. The amount of heat that vanishes 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 the spring and summer. It’s true that white or light clothing will reflect the sun’s rays. However, it may also help keep in your body heat in a similar way—essentially trapping your body heat under your clothes.
A scorching shower or bath will warm you up
. Unfortunately, you’re only going to feel colder when you move out of 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 core temperature drop. You’ll still be left feeling cold.
Having warm drinks will keep you warm
. This is a classic cure for when you’re feeling cold. Nothing is more soothing that the nice toasty feeling you get when you’re holding a warm drink. Unfortunately, once you drink a warm beverage, your body will work against you and start to cool itself.
Sadly, 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
