10 tips to quickly warm the body in an extremely cold room
- A person should breathe in and out slowly several times (after waking up) so that he does not feel very cold if he slept in a cold room. Then contract the muscles in your arms and legs and suddenly release them. Drink a cup of warm tea (while still in bed) that you kept overnight in a thermos bottle.
- Vigorously rubbing the whole body with a sharp glove will contribute to rapid warming. The heat will spread throughout the body as soon as the skin turns slightly red due to rubbing.
- Frostbite on the hands can be avoided. Wash your hands twice with soap and water, but put 4 sugar cubes in the water (this amount of sugar is for 1 to 2 liters of water). Do not wash your hands, but carefully wipe them with a towel.
- Have a hearty breakfast during a very cold day. You can then reduce the amount of other meals.
- Make a fist. Raise your arms up several times in succession and perform several circular movements.
- You should not warm up with an alcoholic drink. Then the opposite happens, because the blood vessels expand on the surface of the skin and thus a large amount of calories are lost.
- A sugar cube on which you have dripped some cognac (or brandy) will warm up the body the fastest.
- It is preferable to sleep an hour longer during extreme cold. Sleep removes toxins and strengthens the body in calories.
- There are bed warmers today. Drink a cup of sweet tea before going to bed. Or, warm yourself with hot water bottles (if you don’t have sleeping heaters).
- It is better to wear several thin layers of clothing that do not constrict the body, rather than, for example, only one heavy coat made of thick fabric.
