The polar air mass, along with the subtropical storm that hit the southern region of Brazil, caused intense colds across the country.

Some cities in Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Paraná recorded snow and frost this week. According to a statement from the National Civil Defense, frost alert continues in the southeast, south and southwest regions and mid-west regions of Minas Gerais until May 23.

Due to the decrease in temperature, some people such as children, the elderly and vulnerable populations are more susceptible to health problems and even diseases. Therefore, some care must be taken to avoid problems during this cold period.

Here are some tips on how to keep your health up to date:

don’t forget to drink water

We know that we tend to consume hotter drinks such as coffee and tea in the cold. However, it is very important to protect your water consumption.

It's important to keep your body hydrated in cold weather.

The heat you feel while drinking an alcoholic beverage comes from the dilation of the skin vessels. However, this process does not actually produce heat in the body and blocks some of our body’s cold sensors. This puts you at risk of hypothermia without realizing it.

Avoid drinking alcohol in the cold

Ventilate the environments

The desire to close each gap is great, but it is important to ventilate environments, especially workplaces or environments with heavy human circulation. It also applies to public transport and private transport.

Environments should be well ventilated in the cold.

keep yourself warm

In addition to wearing coats and blouses, do not forget to wrap your hands, feet and head well.

Avoid closed and crowded environments

During this time, these environments present a greater risk of contamination by respiratory diseases such as covid-19 and flu. Avoid these places especially if you are with the elderly and children. If you have to stay in such a place, remember that masks are effective in preventing these diseases.

Avoid confined spaces and crowding in the cold

Do not try to make a heater for your home

When burning paper or charcoal, in addition to heat, combustion produces carbon dioxide, which is extremely toxic to our body and causes death by suffocation. There are affordable and safe electric heater options available that can help alleviate the cold.

Don't improvise with heaters
