Therapist Kondrakhin named the main danger of dry air in an apartment
During the heating season, the air in the apartment can become dry, which will negatively affect the condition of the skin, mucous membranes and hair. This was told to Moscow 24 by therapist and candidate of medical sciences Andrey Kondrakhin.
He noted that the hotter the battery, the lower the humidity.
According to Kondrakhin, dry nasal mucosa makes the body more susceptible to infections. Another negative aspect is increased dustiness.
The expert said: "The temperature is high, the humidity is low and the dust on the floor is almost volatile, so we breathe it in. The dust can accumulate on the mucous membrane and form scabs, making it difficult to breathe."
Experts advise that it is important to open windows for five to seven minutes at least once an hour and humidify the air to prevent drying out of the skin, hair and mucous membranes.
It is also important to dust your apartment at least once a day. If this is not possible, do a general cleaning at least once a week, the expert concluded.
Previously, physician-therapist Tatyana Romanenko spoke about the causes of nosebleeds. In particular, these symptoms may indicate a pathology of the blood coagulation system. Also, the causes of bleeding may be high blood pressure or dry nasal mucosa.
