Too cold is bad, too hot is even worse.
The optimal “weather at home” for the human body differs in winter and summer. You need to pay attention not only to temperature, but also to humidity.
“At elevated temperatures, a person’s performance decreases – both mental and physical,” they say in .
In addition, the load on the cardiovascular system increases and immunity is suppressed. A logical consequence – a person often catches a cold, easily catches a runny nose, is prone to tonsillitis, pneumonia and other diseases of the respiratory system.
Cold in the apartment is also not the best option. Due to too Spartan conditions, a person often suffers from ARVI, all the same bronchitis and pneumonia, in addition, chronic diseases can worsen – and who does not suffer from any “chronicle” now?
Humidity is another important parameter. If the house is dry, the mucous membranes dry out, opening the way for viruses and bacteria, it is more likely that you will get the flu or catch any other infection. And if it is too damp, then there is a decrease in immunity, and an exacerbation of chronic sores, and a general weakness of the body. In addition, mold appears in the house, which is very difficult to corrode and which can cause allergies and diseases of the respiratory system.
To prevent all this from happening, you need to observe the correct temperature regime. In summer, the temperature should be from 20 to 28 degrees, and in winter it is worth changing the conditions to stricter ones – from 18 to 24 degrees.
As for humidity, Dr. Komarovsky, talking about the optimal microclimate in the apartment, talked about the level from 50 to 70 percent.
“Just don’t confuse humidity with dampness,” warns the doctor.
If the temperature regime in the house is not observed, for example, it is too cold due to poor heating, you need to write a complaint to the management company. And if she does not react, then complain to Rospotrebnadzor and the Housing Inspectorate – all the rules governing temperature and humidity in apartments are spelled out by law. For their violation of the Criminal Code will have to answer.
