At very low temperatures: do not drink alcoholic beverages – alcoholic JV’intoxication contributes to high loss of heat at the same time causes the illusion of heat. An additional negative factor is the inability to focus on the first signs of frostbite. Do not smoke in the cold – it reduces the peripheral blood circulation and makes the course more vulnerable to the effects of the cold. Wear loose-fitting clothing-it promotes normal blood circulation. Dress so that between the layers was a layer of air that retains heat. The robe is advisable to wear resistant to getting wet. Tight shoes, no insoles, dirty socks can create the preconditions frostbite. Special attention to footwear should be given to people who have hot and sweaty feet. In shoes, you should put warm insoles, and instead of cotton socks to wear wool-they absorb moisture and leave feet dry. Don't go out in the cold without gloves and scarf. The best option – water repellent gloves made of fabric that is not breathable, fur inside. Gloves made of artificial materials poorly protect from frost. In windy conditions on exposed body apply a special cream. Do not carry on a frost metal (including gold and silver) jewelry. First, the metal is cooled to a low temperature faster than the body, which might "sticking" of these items to the skin with the emergence of feelings of pain and cold injuries. Secondly, the rings on the fingers prevents blood circulation and contribute to frostbite of the extremities. Watch the face, especially the nose, ears and cheeks, pay attention to change their colors. If during your stay in the open air you feel the beginning of hypothermia, immediately go into a warm room – shop, cafe, under the’ride – for warming and inspection of places of potential frostbite. If cold hands – try to warm them under his arm. Hide from the wind. The wind frostbite probability is increasing. It is advisable to take with you on a long walk socks, gloves and a thermos of hot tea. Before an exit on a frost it is desirable to eat – you need extra energy. Note that in children thermoregulation has not yet been established, and the elderly in some diseases violated. These categories are most susceptible to frostbite and hypothermia, so keep this in mind when planning walks in the winter. For example, the child's stay in the cold should not exceed 15-20 minutes, then warm it in a warm room. In the end pam’remember that the best way to get out of an unpleasant situation – it's not to get. If you like extreme sensations, extreme cold does not leave the room unnecessarily!
