Not afraid of cold on a snowy day!4 healthy winter warms, the last one that Germans also use

National Health Says I have a friend from the north whose surname is Zhang, so let's call her Xiao Zhang. Her warm outfit against extreme cold conditions is unique and impressive.

I grew up in the South. Once a group of friends of ours decided to go skiing in the snow in the north. For this extremely cold environment, I feel very uncomfortable with the southern girl. Xiao Zhang said confidently: "No problem, I'll show you the secrets of northerners' dressing." "Later, don't say it, with her dressing method, it's really a lot warmer.

So next, Yuan's small pocket, I will talk about the secret of effective warm clothing given to me by my northern friend.

First of all, let's talk about whether you are particular about dressing in snowy weather

In fact, we can take a look at the heat dissipation of the human body in extremely cold weather. Scientific research has found that at sub-zero temperatures, the human body loses heat mainly through radiation, convection, and conduction. Therefore, a reasonable choice of clothing can effectively reduce these heat loss methods. Clothing is crucial.

So how to dress scientifically to keep warm in the snow?

In extremely cold weather on a snowy day, there are 3 major elements of dressing.

First of all, on a snowy day, our most important task is to choose warm and breathable clothing. For example, in the choice of clothes, wool, down, thermal underwear, etc. are all good choices. This is because these garment materials provide excellent warmth while also regulating body temperature to ensure comfort in cold environments.

That's how I wore it myself, with thermal underwear underneath, a cashmere sweater in the middle, and a down jacket on the outer.

As for the pants, I also wear down pants. Also, I put on my mask and scarf.

Secondly, we say the key to layering. The principle of layering means that we can flexibly match our clothes according to the temperature and activity level.

At the same time, it is important to keep it dry. We can choose a base layer that absorbs moisture and wicks away sweat, so as to prevent moisture and reduce the warmth of the clothing.

The head is an important part of our body to dissipate heat, so wearing a warm hat can effectively reduce heat loss. At the same time, hands and feet are also areas that are highly susceptible to cold, such as good gloves and socks to keep warm, but also pay attention to maintaining breathability.

Wen Yuan's small pocket.

For example, I chose leather gloves and socks that were extra thick in winter.

The choice of shoes is also crucial. First of all, on a snowy day, it is easy to accumulate snow and ice, so we need to choose shoes that are non-slip and have non-slip soles.

Also, it's best to choose tall shoes, which provide extra protection from cold air and snowflakes. In addition, the high design also helps to prevent snow and water from entering the shoes, thus keeping the feet dry and warm.

In addition, I would like to talk about the three-layer effect of warm dressing that is recommended in Germany.

Note that according to German research, maintaining a "three" shaped temperature distribution can achieve the best warmth effect. That is, the outermost layer is windproof and snowproof, the innermost layer is insulated and close, and the middle layer is insulated and warm, which constitutes the most scientific three-layer effect.

Finally, let's talk about my own little magic to protect myself from the cold on snowy days in the north, I used a warm baby, haha.

So on a snowy day, how do you think you can wear it to be more effective in keeping warm from the cold?
