effects of winter

DOES WINTER make you feel like a bear? Do you wish you could just hibernate for the next few months?

Don't retreat to your den for the winter. The snowy season can be fun, if you take a few precautions while spending time in the cold.

When the temperature inside

your body drops below nor-

mal, you suffer from

hypothermia. Cold can also

damage your skin through frostbite. ‘

To avoid the dangerous effects of cold: © Bundle up: Always wear suffi- cient clothing. Layering is an effec- tive way to trap heat without sacri- ficing comfort or mobility. ‘

Several layers of loose-fitting clothing will protect you better than a big thick coat that you can't move around in.

You can lose a lot of heat from your head and extremities. If you think you're overheating, it’s better to open your jacket than to doff your hat or gloves. ‘

J Stay dry: Avoid getting wet, even from sweating. Any moisture on the skin increases cooling by evapora- tion. But even wet clothing still has

some insulating value. So before. |:

you take off your wet clothes wait until you're, in a warm place or you have a dry set to change into.

O) Stay alert: Limit the time you spend outdoors. Ski with a partner

so you can check each other for '

signs of frostbite and hypothermia. Be sure to let someone know where

_ you will be and when you plan to.”

return. . . © Keep up your energy: Your bedy needs the right kind of fuel to keep

warm, Take raisins, nuts and other”

high-energy foods to munch on at regular intervals. Warm-up exercises .before exercising in the cold are more important than ever.

Don't push yourself to the point of fatigue and avoid tobacco and alcohol. These contribute to heat loss and increase the chances of - injury caused by the cold.
