As temperatures drop, we have two choices: freeze and feel miserable, or be prepared and enjoy winter.
Did you know that cold temperatures kill more Americans than hot temperatures? Well, today we're going to talk about how to not only survive the cold, but also thrive in the cold.
1. Be safe: According to the CDC, approximately one million Americans are injured each year from falls on ice and snow, and approximately 17,000 of these injuries are fatal.
2. Be careful when traveling: Every year, approximately 100,000 Americans are involved in a car accident involving snow, ice, or slush.
3. Carbon monoxide poisoning: Every year, approximately 50,000 people in the United States go to the emergency room due to carbon monoxide poisoning and at least 430 die from it. Carbon monoxide poisoning is most common in the winter because it is produced by furnaces, heaters, some heaters, vehicles, and generators.
4. Frostbite: About 700 people per year in the United States are treated for frostbite. Frostbite occurs when skin and tissues literally freeze.
5. Hypothermia: Hypothermia kills approximately 700 people each year in the United States. What happens is your body loses heat faster than it produces it and you end up running out of stored energy.
6. Dress like an onion: My favorite tip on this is to dress like an onion, which means lots of thin layers that insulate you from any air gaps. Overlap each layer.
7. Be aware of your body's priorities: Your body prioritizes heat distribution. If your toes and fingers freeze, it is because your body is conserving heat for your internal organs and therefore reducing blood flow to the extremities.
8. Avoid Sweating: We all know that moving is better than standing around shivering, but you don't want to sweat.
9. Don't get cold feet: Trench foot syndrome or immersion foot syndrome is a serious condition that results from your feet staying wet for too long.
10. Alcohol is a factor in many cold illnesses: Alcohol consumption is one of the most easily preventable factors associated with hypothermia.
Here are ten tips for staying warm at work or at home this winter. If you think this cold weather safety video was helpful, be sure to hit the like button and if you'd like to see more videos like this, be sure to hit that button subscription.
