When cold weather sets in, a heater helps maintain a comfortable temperature in your home.
However, some types of heaters can have a negative impact on human health.
Therapist Ivan Noskov spoke in more detail about this, as reported by Doctor Peter .
The main disadvantage of many heaters is that they dry the air.
As a result, the nasal mucosa can become very dry and perform its protective function less effectively.
After all, it is a kind of barrier for various microorganisms and dust.
The expert noted that prolonged exposure to dry air can increase the body's susceptibility to colds or allergies.
According to the specialist, fan heaters have the most negative effect in this case.
They dry out the air very much and can burn oxygen. As a result, this can lead to hypooxygenation.
In this condition, a person will feel quickly tired, drowsy and weak.
In addition, convectors and oil heaters can dry the air quite strongly. Therefore, in such a case, it is advisable to use a humidifier.
Moreover, to ensure that these devices do not pose a threat to health, it is worth limiting the time they operate.
Earlier, the doctor explained how dangerous dishes with cracks and chips are.
