Science refutes rumors and drinks to keep out the cold? Don't be fooled again!
Sit down, take a sip of wine to warm up your body" This is a common line in film and television dramas. When it comes to the cold winter, many friends like to have a drink or two, thinking that it is both atmospheric and can keep out the cold. "If you want snow in the evening, you can drink a glass of nothing", it seems that in this cold weather, warm a pot of wine, and get together with three or two friends to drink a few glasses, the whole body is comfortable, warm, and it is indeed very emotional. But not only does drinking alcohol not protect you from the cold, but it will get colder the more you drink. Since then, there has been one more reason to drink less......Let's take a look at what the hell is going on.
We often hear the saying "drink to keep out the cold", in fact"It's a real fever, it's a fake cold".
True fever refers to the feeling of feeling hot all over the body after drinking alcohol, because alcohol can stimulate the capillaries of the human body, so that blood vessels dilate and blood circulation is accelerated. The blood constantly brings heat from the body to the surface, which will give people a feeling of burning and warming the body. However, it is important to note that a fever is not the same as warming up from the cold. This brief fever does not raise our actual body temperature.
Therefore, drinking alcohol not only can not keep out the cold, but the cold weather will also aggravate the cold after drinking, at this time, when the resistance is weak, the virus is easy to take advantage of the weakness, and it is easy to cause people to catch colds.
Drinking alcohol does not fundamentally solve the problem of body coldness, and excessive drinking in winter is easy to become "cooler". The frequent heat exchange between the body surface and the outside world takes away the body's own heat, and excessive alcohol can cause the body's thermoregulation to become dysfunctional, resulting in excessive heat loss. Therefore, after a short period of "fever" after drinking, you will feel colder and colder, which is what we usually call "cold after drinking". In case you are alone and drunk outdoors in the cold winter and unconscious, and there is no one around to find out in time, the consequences are unimaginable.
When drinking in winter, pay attention to the following:
1. Just drink, according to your own physical condition, you should not do more, abandon the vicious culture of persuasion, and respect the drinking habits of others. Be a civilized drinker
2. Drink moderately and drink less spirits.
3. Don't drink alcohol on an empty stomach, eat more food before drinking, and protect the gastric mucosa from being irritated.
4. After drinking, it is best not to act alone and do not drive to avoid accidents.
