Air Conditioning: How to Avoid Disease

mexico city. -Climatic conditions in Mexico lead to the installation of air conditioners to reduce the discomfort that may be caused by exposure to heat, however, some people find that their health suffers from the constant use of this form of ventilation.

Air conditioners use refrigerants to extract heat from a given space, and then pipe cool air into the building to produce the optimum temperature for the comfort of the occupants of the building.

However, this kind of comfort is exchanged. On the one hand, it is an economic and physical sacrifice, and on the other hand, it may cause respiratory diseases, such as laryngitis, pharyngitis, and sinusitis.

One solution is to turn on the air conditioner when no one is in the room, and once the ideal temperature is reached, the unit turns off so that the room stays cool and people get used to the temperature.

But it’s not always easy to do that because you have to stay in certain spaces for a long time, in that sense you can help by constantly changing the air conditioner filter or having containers of water in the room Our respiratory system keeps it moving through air to regulate humidity, and another strategy is to drink beverages to stay properly hydrated.

The most important thing is to avoid abuse of air conditioners, ensure that the indoor temperature is only 5 degrees lower than the outdoor temperature, and avoid sudden temperature changes.
