HEALTH NOTE
by Sally Coffin, R.N.
KEEP WARM THIS WINTER
Winter is upon us! A cold winter day can systematically sap the warmth from your body in four ways:
1) Radiant heat loss, when your body heat simply escapes into the cold air due to lack of insulation.
2) Convective heat transfer, which involves the wind drawing heat off of you - particularly where your skin is exposed.
3) Conductive heat transfer, or heat loss through direct contact with cold surfaces such as a cold park bench or a cold chairlift.
4) Evaporative cooling, which is what happens when your skin gets soaked with precipitation or sweat.
Wearing the proper winter clothing can eliminate the effectiveness of all four types of heat loss and prevent the risk of hypothermia and frostbite. You can lose a lot of body heat if your head is exposed. Cover your head and ears or use a face mask to protect yourself from cold and wind. Your hands and feet are the farthest points from your heart and are the least insulated. Gloves or mittens and wool socks insulate and wick moisture away. Keep yourself healthy this winter by keeping yourself moving and keeping yourself warm.
Live Gently and Be Blessed,
