<i>Dear guys, I know how much you don’t like “prickly” ones. sweaters, uncomfortable shoes with thick fur and scarves. You feel uncomfortable, clumsy and hot. And why does mom force you to get dressed? It's not cold after all. And let it be winter! You, my dears, are wrong. To avoid getting sick, you need to dress properly in winter.

Dear guys, I know how much you dislike “scratchy” sweaters, uncomfortable shoes with thick fur and scarves. You feel uncomfortable, clumsy and hot. And why does mom force you to get dressed? It's not cold after all. And let it be winter! You, my dears, are wrong. To avoid getting sick, you need to dress properly in winter. Next you will find out how. Your doctor Arseniy Sirenich. On the head - a hat. The ears are the first to “give up”: their tips first turn red, then turn completely white. If you don’t protect them with a hat or at least a hood, the chance of getting otitis media (when the ear shoots) will increase significantly.
The network of blood vessels that supply the brain also suffers: the cold provokes spasms in them, causing pressing, aching headaches. Plus blood pressure jumps.
In addition, frost causes your hair follicles to become inflamed and weakened, aging rapidly, losing moisture and skin cells, and eventually your hair will begin to fall out and dandruff will fall out.
Hitting your forehead against a wall of frost increases the risk of frontal sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses) and meningitis (inflammation of the membranes of the brain or spinal cord - a terrible disease that often leads to disability or death).
Cover your neck and chest with a scarf.
Having caught cold air, the exposed neck and chest will respond with colds, bronchitis, intercostal neuralgia and muscle inflammation. In girls, hypothermia can lead to mastopathy (a benign breast tumor).
Hands – put on gloves or mittens.
They love mittens more than gloves: it is more difficult for individual fingers to keep warm than in a crowd. But on the palms and hands there are many bioactive points, which, when frozen, can spur the exacerbation of chronic diseases of the respiratory system.
Cover your back with a warm sweater and a warm jacket.
Our “rear” warms up more slowly than the stomach and chest, which are richer in blood vessels. Hypothermia is fraught with myositis - inflammation of the muscles of the back and neck, lumbago in the lower back (hello short jackets!).
Lower body - wear warm trousers and NO SHORT SKIRTS.
Here the system most susceptible to low degrees is the genitourinary system. It reacts with nephritis (the kidneys suffer), cystitis (it affects the bladder), inflammation of the appendages in women and prostatitis in men: the consequence is infertility.
Feet – wear warm socks and warm winter shoes.
They freeze faster than all other clothed parts of the body: in the cold, blood flow slows down, and the feet become chilly. But on them, like on the hands, there are also hidden points - “contactors” with various organs and systems, and hypothermia can result in a runny nose, sore throat, bronchitis and other colds.
