Dr. Komarovsky explains how to properly turn on the air conditioner

Fleeing from the heat, people install air conditioners at home and at work. This summer is really abnormally hot. So the cooler was almost a forced purchase for many. Only here often it is because of him that you can get sick even on the hottest summer day. To prevent this from happening, you need to know. How to properly turn on the air conditioner. Important information is shared by the famous Ukrainian doctor Evgeny Komarovsky.



Not so long ago I had to spend a week in an apartment with air conditioning installed. At first I was happy, as the temperature outside the window was stable above 30 degrees. However, on the first night I realized that the relationship with air conditioning is individual.

The roommate is used to setting the temperature of the device no higher than 21-22 degrees. I had to sleep under a winter blanket to adapt to the unnatural coolness. When you wake up, you feel how cold the room is. However, the neighbor does not feel this: he is comfortable.



This is exactly what Dr. Komarovsky says in his latest Instagram post. The temperature of the air conditioner must be adjusted, focusing on your feelings. However, you need to understand that a sharp jump from unbearable heat to an 18-degree oasis can affect well-being. In other words, this is another stress for the body.

If you live in the same, stable conditions, the vessels will be difficult to react to the sudden changes around you. If you temper, practice contrast showers, always dress for the weather, your vascular system will respond to the jump normally. But in any case, it is better not to risk again and reduce the temperature of the air conditioner gradually.



This is especially important if there are children in the apartment. Evgeny Komarovsky advises to reduce the temperature by no more than 5-7 degrees in comparison with the temperature outside the window. When households adapt to new conditions, the temperature can be reduced by a couple of degrees.

In addition, you need to understand not only how to properly turn on the air conditioner, but also how to take care of the room in which it is located. First of all, it is important to ventilate it regularly. It is also necessary to monitor the humidity level in the house, since air conditioners often overdry the air.



Of course, you should not sit and sleep directly under the air conditioner. Recently, I broke this rule and in the morning immediately felt a sore throat. There is no need to put your body at risk. The optimal distance between a person and an air conditioner is at least 1.5-2 meters.

I also want to remind you that from time to time the air conditioner must be cleaned from the accumulated dust inside it. A special service is usually called for this purpose. However, you can eliminate all dirt without difficulty and with your own hands. If you have never done this before, read our detailed instructions by link.



I know that air conditioning is not affordable for everyone. A good old fan can also help out in a difficult time. And you can also paste the windows from the inside with special films so that the apartment does not overheat. Heard of that? By the way, for the same purpose, use a conventional blister film.
